How can I write for NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC?
Vacancies on our editorial staff are usually filled by men and women who have had quite a few years of experience in the newspaper or magazine publishing fields. In preparation for such work, many of our writers have made a thorough study of the sciences, journalism, and English, and in some cases know several languages. A solid academic background and a proven record of success in one's chosen field are most important. However, because we cannot know a person's particular talents nor assure employment after a completed course, we do not encourage gearing a career or educational program specifically toward employment by the National Geographic Society.

Don't you love it when someone tells you in an official capacity exactly what you need to hear? Over the past year or so, if someone asked me what my dream job is, I'd say National Geographic. But a company's frankness and dashing of dreams is much appreciated.
