Technical assignment for a journalist for a test article for 4 Review
About us:
4Review is a new online magazine about beauty, people, and trends, where professionalism combines with an easy presentation, and the texts inspire and captivate. We create content that you not only want to read but also share.
Currently, we are looking for a full-time journalist who will become part of our team and help create unique materials for a very ambitious and positioning publication.
Task:
Prepare a test article — a review and comparison of 4 cosmetic products.
Article topic:
Review and comparison of 4 products (you can choose one of the categories: face creams, serums, shampoos, lip care products, or any other cosmetics).
Article goal:
Show your authorial style: the lightness of the text, subtle humor, creative approach, and the ability to talk about beauty in a way that is both informative and engaging.
Main requirements:
1. Structure:
• Introduction: A light, catchy beginning — possibly through a life story or a funny incident.
• Main part:
• A brief description of each product (what it is, for whom, what promises the brand makes).
• Pros and cons of each product (not dry, but with subtle humor).
• Comparison: what distinguishes each product, for what occasions or types it is suitable.
• Conclusion: Your personal summary — which product is “your hero” and why.
2. Style:
• Light, friendly, unobtrusive.
• With subtle humor that brings a smile but does not cross the line.
• Add a bit of “life” — personal experience or observations that make the text more lively and unique.
3. Focus:
• Avoid template phrases like “perfect for all skin types.”
• Show the individuality of each product, approach the comparison creatively.
4. Article length: 350–500 words.
5. Approximate headlines:
• “Four face products that save (or ruin) the day.”
• “Shampoos for the lazy and perfectionists: who will win?”
6. Technical requirements:
• Text in Word or Google Docs format.
• The article must be unique, written specifically for 4Face Review.
Who we are looking for:
• Ability to create materials that captivate and inspire.
• Understanding of the beauty industry or willingness to dive into this field.
• Ability to write easily, accessibly, yet professionally.
• Desire to become part of the 4 team and work with us on a permanent basis.
Deadline: 3 days
We are looking for not just an author, but a partner who shares our passion for beauty and content creation. If you are ready to grow with us and become the voice of an ambitious magazine — show it in your test article!
