Editorial Researcher - what is it?

[FeelingLucky]

Friend of mine has applied for a job as an editorial researcher for a on-line listing/trade rag in the media.

He's worried it will involve telesales as job sounds too good to be true.
I said I'd ask you wise Mnetters, who knows, one of you might even be an editorial researcher!

Any ideas?

Yes, I think it will involve tele sales.

They should explain the role when he is interviewed or he could phone and ask for a description.
