Description:
The Chadron Record has an immediate job opening for a high school sports reporter. The position also includes other general assignment reporting, pagination and some general office work. A passion for and knowledge of sports is desired, the ability to write clearly and concisely and to take quality action photos a necessity.

This position is based in Chadron, Nebraska, located in the Pine Ridge area in the northwestern part of the state. Close to Chadron State Park, Fort Robinson State Park and the U.S. Forest Services’ Pine Ridge Ranger District and Oglala National Grasslands, Chadron offers abundant outdoor recreation opportunities. The city is also home to Chadron State College and the recently constructed Chadron Area Wellness and Aquatics Center.

This is a regular part-time position of 30-35 hours per week including some evening and weekend hours. We offer a competitive salary and full benefit package including: medical, dental, vision, and 401k.

To apply, go to www.rapidcityjournal.com/workhere, or drop your resume at the Chadron Record office.

 

Sports, general assignments, pagination, general office work....at least you don't have to clean the toilets....or was that omitted from the ad....all for part-time pay.

 

WTH is "general office work"?

 

That sounds like either "receptionist" or "janitor."

 

This sounds like a full-time job not part-time

 

"Part time" so they can get away with not offering benefits.

 

"We offer a competitive salary and full benefit package including: medical, dental, vision, and 401k."

 

With part-time pay, who can afford the 'benefits.'

 

Whoever takes this part-time job isn't going to be able to afford the deductions.

 

Chadron State, amazingly, counts among its alumni two fairly well-known NFL players who have played in a combined seven Super Bowls -- former Bills and Packers wide receiver Don Beebe, and Patriots/Chargers/Ravens running back Danny Woodhead.
The football stadium is named after Beebe.
That and the fact Chadron is located in an insanely remote part of Nebraska is all I got.

 

I expect the cost of living in Chadron is somewhat less than say, New York City, or even Omaha. Not gonna get rich but I bet you can find an affordable place to live on 35 hours a week.

 

Another random fact about Chadron State, Cody Paul played there. Anyone born in the 90's probably saw his Pop Warner highlight tape on YouTube. For whatever reason, it was a hit video and this was before social media and every decent athlete made a highlight video. A lot of people hoped he could maybe be the next Danny Woodhead but it never happened.
