Apple sports writer opening

Didn't see this on the jobs board or mentioned here, apologies if I missed, but figured it makes more sense on the general journalism topics board.

Sports Writer - Careers at Apple

At least the job description isn't vague...

I mean, I guess the good thing is you know they'll be around longer than The Messenger. On the other hand, it also seems like one of those things where in 18 months everyone's like, yeah, that was never going to work as 15 people post on Twitter how they're now looking for new gigs after Apple shut down their essential messaging beat.

 

The pay is a step up from the Hooterville Herald. They'll get plenty of apps.

 

What's the over/under on applicant count? 2,000? 5,000?

 

Manky Jimy just blew $30 on a FedEx morning delivery.

 

Assuming you have to live in or around L.A. County, so $100K will get you a decent studio apartment I guess.

 

Does anyone know what exactly this position will do? I couldn't cut through the jargon to decipher it.

 

I clicked on the link out of curiosity and it gets worse.

 

Is this a big boy job?

 

A fuckin stud is going to get this job.

 

"to craft essential messaging"


This makes me want to throw up. Egads.

 

ANy updates on this big boy job?

 

You're HIRED!
