Our wonderful Buyer's Guide editor, Caroline Osborn, is retiring after no less than 30 years on the magazine. That's the bad news. The good news is that we're auditioning for a new team member to take on the task of keeping our 1400+ product Buyer's Guide - which feeds the magazine, our overseas issues and shortly the new-look website here - up to date. The job involves distilling our reviews into pithy one-line verdicts; managing our product database; frequent communication with manufacturers and PRs; and general editorial assistance to the magazine team. There are also opportunities to attend product launches and shows. Strong computing and organisation skills, a good telephone manner and an impeccable attention to detail are essential, with an interest in our subject matter a bonus. This position - based at our riverside offices in Teddington - is initially available on a six-month contract basis. Interested? You can apply online here.

If I wasn't training as a Chartered Surveyor, I'd have loved to. It's a cracking opportunity for any hi-fi lovers wanting to get a foot in the door of journalism and What Hi-Fi. Best of luck with the candidates Clare!

Sigh. Now if you'd asked me 15 years ago, before the single income, two kids and and onerous mortgage, then I still wouldn't have got the job...

Oh well.

Assuming you're not being sarcastic. A Michelin star is highly sought after in the restaurant world. 3 stars is the highest I believe, and there aren't many of those around.

Coincidently I'm looking for work at the moment, I have project management skills from working with RBS Corporate bank, and am currently a self employed web designer. However I'm not looking for a 9 to 5 role.

If there's any part-time or work from home jobs going I'd be interested - I've got a four year old to look after.

Pass my details on.

Degree level educated.

Marketing/Advertising agencies for last 12 years.

Love hifi, and suffer regular bouts of buying new kit.

Some copywriting experience.

And of course like a glass or two.
