Instagram… and win!

Thursday, March 29th, 2012

Instagram @mag_nation

Ever since we replaced our big ol’ brick phones with shiny new iDevices last month, we’ve quietly been posting photos up on our new Instagram account every couple days at @mag_nation.

Since we’ve been having such a good time on Instagram, we figured it’d be fun to run a competition up on there.

How does it work?

Well, we’ve got three $50 vouchers up for grabs and all you need to do to enter is to take a photo of your fave magazine of the moment (the more interesting shot the better, so get creative) and annotate it with the comment, “Print’s not dead! @mag_nation #maglove”.

Winner will be chosen at our discretion and entries close in one week from now, so get snapping!

We’re hiring! Calling all customer service Wizards

Thursday, March 15th, 2012

Yep, we’re hiring for someone to work part time in customer service.

The job is based in Melbourne working within the subscriptions department from our Greville St. Prahran store.

It’s a part time position working 25 hours a week where, essentially, you’ll be one of the human faces of our subscriptions department.

A typical day will include:

  • Taking calls from customers on our in-bound 1800 telephone number.
  • Processing new subscriptions and renewals (yes, this involves a fair bit of data entry).
  • Answering customer service e-mails (“Where is my magazine?”) and following up with publishers and distributors (“Where is that customer’s magazine?”)
  • Helping to package up and send out customer orders.
  • Putting together invoices and basic Excel spreadsheets.

Ideally, we’re looking for someone with a bit of customer service experience and lots of common sense.

Please send through your CV with a cover letter to info@magnation.com with the subject line “Your call is important to us…”
