Two positions created at the NCAA

We have created two new positions in the New Media department of the NCAA: and Associate director position managing the content on NCAA.org (job description at http://tbe.taleo.net/NA5/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=NCAA&cws=1&rid=418 ) and an assistant director to handle social media initiatives (job description at http://tbe.taleo.net/NA5/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=NCAA&cws=1&rid=417 ). Any questions, contact me at rramos@ncaa.org

 

Do you have to pay for wifi?

 

Do you have to drink your morning coffee in a Vitamin Water Cup?

 

Nice and nice.

 

Agreed. Too funny.

 

I interviewed with the NCAA a few years ago. All kidding aside, the facility and the people are really nice and, honest to god, you can buy Cokes out of the machine for a dime.

 

Thanks moddy. Since several have asked about the timetable, applications will be accepted until April 5. I will move quickly after that to identify finalists and bring them in by the end of April. And, yes, the wifi is free, there are no vitamin water cups and the coke machine is, unfortunately, now 25 cents. And after 25 years in newsrooms, I can say this is a tremendous place to work (though the Shreveport newsroom was a close second - tremendous group of people).

 

The positions have been reposted until 5 p.m. tomorrow (April 8) for those who wanted to apply. Some people have told me they tried to apply on April 5, after 5 p.m. We have had a strong response (more than 150 people for each opening). We just wanted to make sure those who were interested in applying had an opportunity.

 

And I'm sure Mr. Ramos meant April 8, not knowing that putting the 8 and the ) together would make 8)

 

I received an e-mail today saying the assistant director of new media job is being reposted. Said after reviewing all the application it was being reposted. Kind of disappointing, I was kind of hoping for something from this job.

 

It is disappointing to hear if this is true. It's kind of like that Jim Rome job ad.
