Careers

Rice & Times is looking for dedicated individuals who will help nurture, grow and guide it to colossal success.

Our vision is to one day have a building filled with people doing what they do best; covering Asian-Americans. Just like BET, I want the same kind of atmosphere for Asian-Americans. This environment will be filled with positive support to help grow the awareness of Asian-Americans in any form of communication.

Can you imagine it? Can you see it in your head now? Wouldn't you love to work for a company that has no glass ceilings? Wouldn't you love to work for a company that judges you not on the color of your skin but on the merits of your work? How would you feel waking up every morning if you worked for a company like that?

Join our company and you'll be living that reality soon! Since the company just started it is a great time for you to be at the ground floor of something special. All positions are unpaid for now and will require you to sacrifice some time. However, you will be compensated appropriately in the future based on your commitment to make Rice & Times a viable venture.

Now it's time to develop a company that, in every sense of the word, celebrates being Asian-American. We must take control of our image and take destiny into our own hands.
