How to Apply (+ pro tips)

• Submit an application online (Please no emails or phone calls).
• As part of the application, create a ~1min. video telling us about something you are super passionate about. Put it on YouTube (make it unlisted, not private) and share the link with us in the application. Raw smartphone videos are great! If you do not send a video or send us a link to a prior video you made, you will not be considered for this position.
• Create a short and sweet cover letter telling us who you are and why you're interested in this job. No need for the typically "professional" cover letter with lots of fluff. Just be you and tell us what you got going on so we have some context for your application.
