Application Requirements

Applications submitted without the following items will not be considered.

1. Cover letter demonstrating your successes as a social media manager and content writer.

2. Resume

3. In your cover letter, please include links to samples of your social media and writing experience. Please also include a video link, as per the instructions below.

Video – Required*

In the video please introduce yourself and why you’re a great fit for this role.

The video should be one minute or less and should be uploaded to YouTube. If you don’t want other people to find it, mark it as unlisted. Don’t mark it as private or disallow embedding, or we won’t be able to see it.

The video should contain nothing except for you talking. No screenshots or postproduction wizardry please; we don’t want this to turn into a video making contest.

Please do not recite a script written beforehand. Just talk spontaneously as you would to a friend. People delivering memorized speeches (or worse still, text read off the screen) usually come off as robotic.

Please do not add any background music to your video. We regularly give up 10 seconds into a video because we can’t stand the random background music.

Most importantly, have fun with this (bonus points for creativity)! It is an opportunity for us to get to know you better!
