Quick reality check (so you don’t waste a submission)
This role lives or dies on clips. If your CV doesn’t clearly show 2+ years of published gaming work, they’ll likely pass.
Take action
Paste 3–5 gaming clips you’d submit (links) and tell me what lane you’re strongest in:
- News (patches, layoffs, acquisitions, delays)
- Guides (builds, walkthroughs)
- Features (analysis, retrospectives)
- Reviews / previews
Then I’ll help you:
- pick the best 2–3 clips for this specific job, and
- write a tight mini-summary you can add to your resume or application profile to fit ScreenRant’s weekend reporter vibe.
