Guidelines for Your Application

What We Need: Alongside your resume, craft a one-page cover letter, and include a writing sample. This can be a paper for class, newspaper article, short story, blog post, etc. - anything that you feel is a good piece of work, and that gives us a sense of your writing ability.

Handling Attachments: Some platforms can be tricky. If limited to one file, combine your resume, cover letter, and work sample.

The Weight of the Cover Letter: It’s more than just a formality – it’s our first introduction to you. Make it count. Without it, your application won't be reviewed.

Note on ‘Quick Apply’: This feature can sometimes miss essential details. Ensure all our requirements are met — incomplete applications won't progress.

We could be a good fit if you've made it all the way down to here!

Adherence to these guidelines is paramount.

Missing out will cost you a spot in the process. And then, we all miss out. And that bums us out. Don't bum us out. We value attention to detail, and this is your chance to show that off.

We appreciate the effort you put into your application and look forward to getting to know you better!
