The Onya Magazine Beauty Department showcases the style, quality and luxury of the Australian beauty industry. Our articles seek to entertain and educate our beauty devotees. Our point of difference is not only our commitment to Australian made and owned beauty brands, but also our integrity, and as such, we are dedicated to delivering honest beauty reviews and articles to our loyal readership.

We are currently seeking two Beauty Interns/Beauty Writers (one based in Melbourne, one based in Sydney) who shares the same vision and values. This exciting opportunity will see you assisting the Beauty Editor on a part time basis, in the running of the Beauty Department – sending emails, organising reviews and liaising with Public Relations.

You will also review beauty products and services (oh the hardship – yes it’s a tough job, but someone has to do it) and write beauty articles. You better have a lot of space in your bathroom cabinets, because you are going to need it to warehouse the beauty product you will be receiving.

The Beauty Editor will keep you in ideas for articles (they drive her batty every time her head hits the pillow at night, and she often has to get up and stumble in the dark to find pen and paper to write them down). You will however be free to nominate the number of articles that you would like to write each month.

You will be organised and have a strong attention to detail. Yes, yes, isn’t that what all the job descriptions say? Well, let me explain. It wouldn’t go astray if you are anally retentive when it comes to sentence construction and share an ardent dislike for misplaced apostrophes. But, we’re not just the Grammar Police – we also love people who are resourceful, innovative, creative and above all passionate – yes you are a beauty aficionado.

You will have an exceptional flair for writing with an entertaining style and distinct voice (we definitely like personality here at Onya), along with previous experience reviewing and writing beauty articles.

If you meet the above criteria, worship all things beauty and have a passion for Australian made and owned brands, then this could be a fabulous opportunity to start your writing career in the beauty industry with exposure in a successful online magazine, that will also be joined by a print publication later this year.

If you are interested in applying for this position, please email gaynor@onyamagazine.com with your bio and a sample of your writing. Applicants who are successfully shortlisted for interview will be contacted on Monday the 21st of June, 2010 .  Upon being shortlisted you will also receive a full job description.
