Producer - SI.com (Atlanta)

What prompted this opening? I assume someone's leaving, right?

 

I've always wanted to work for SI since I was a kid. I applied for this job. I have little hope of even getting a callback for it, but the worst they can say is no right?

 

Received a call from a very nice woman in New York last week concerning my application. We spoke again yesterday for about 30 minutes. She basically told me the position will be covering night shifts, beginning roughly around the time operations in the New York office shut down for the day. Pay will be commensurate with experience.

I should hear something within the next few weeks, regardless, as she has to interview what I am sure is a deep pool of applicants. Keeping my fingers crossed.

 

From my experience, "producer" is a a catch-all term for someone with multimedia skills, but can also extend to CSS, HTML and whatever other online tasks the employer needs done.

 

I checked around. One of their guys is leaving for Golf.com.

 

Me too! got the call today...

 

You work in online and do nothing with video?
Wow.

 

I would really like a callback. Daddy needs to work in a big city.

 

Experience with HTML will come in handy, but actual programming skills (such as CSS) won't be required - SI.com is published using a custom CMS developed in-house.

 

Jeff Ritter?

 

I don't know the guy's name, but yes Golf.com.

 

Interviewed for a SI.com gig in another life ... so long ago that CNN/SI was playing in the lobby in Atlanta while I was waiting for the interview.
