Seriously...How do I get the job?

How do you get a job reviewing various hardware?

Are there any requirements or special skillz needed?

I have taken 3 writing classes so writing a review wouldn't be hard. Do you just need to know somebody in order to get a break or do I need to start my own site and beg? I am very interested in this so please serious responses only. Thanks

You have to be Dead Sexy..... Like me

Seriously.... If you are gonna start your own site... you better be ready to buy some of your own reviews... and build up a reputation as a credible site..... as for becoming a Reviewer for Pimprig or any other site..... You need to be a well established, helpful person...and a good member

You don't ask for a job as reviewer, you are asked to be a reviewer.

GlitterKill makes the decision on who writes for his site. Almost every reviewer on PR (with a couple exceptions I may or may not agree with, but hey, I'm not the boss) is a long time member who have shown themselves to be dedicated to PimpRig and knowledgeable on hardware with good writing skills.

If you are serious, one way to get noticed is to start writing information articles for the site. Information on modding practices and procedures, software tweaking, gaming strategy, etc... That will demonstrate to GK what skills you actually have.

By the way clouder, reference your dedication to the site...what place are you holding for our Folding @ Home Team? Didn't notice your name.

I am currently without a computer at the moment. I am in the process of building mine and when it is operational i will be more than happy to donate my extra cpu cycles for a good cause. As for now I am borrowing my girlfriends laptop to get me by.
