Orlando Sentinel general assignment reporter

[playthrough]

Can anyone ballpark how many clips these folks want?

Can't speak for Hoppes but my thinking is usually three to five. You can always provide more upon request if he likes the first batch.

If this was back in my Florida days he would have got a packet from me, too. I always thought Orlando did very creative g.a. stories.

I've said this before about this place: This is a great section with great people to work with. You'll work your ass off, but you'll be rewarded for doing so.

In my younger days, I would have been hitchhiking my way to Orlando right about now, to suck Lynn's...

To flat-out beg for this job, is what I mean.

I just told my wife I was thinking about applying for this gig.
"It's a job in Florida," I said.
"We can buy a house there," she said.
"It's in Orlando."
"You mean where the MAgic Kingdom is an Mickey Mouse lives?"
My wife was not born in this country.

"Yup."
"Let me shoot myself right now or let's get the divorce papers."

I think I'll apply and try to explain there are benefits to shooping at Publix, sweating through your panties in the summer and reading the most ridiculous crime blotter in the country.

It's a GA job with local golf. Doesn't get better than that.

Don't worry. We have plenty of folks on SJ willing to do that already.

 

[Willie-Butch]

I really wish I could apply for this job. Good luck to all your whipper snappers going for this one.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

Yeah, if you're looking to make a name for yourself in this business, this is one of the places you want to work...

There are better papers, but no place develops young talent better... These days, that's very rare...

 

[IBIS]

A lot of talented reporters have gone to Orlando then rocketed off to bigger gigs.
Whoever gets this job will have an excellent chance to continue the tradition.
I would guess Lynn can expect to sift through at least 150 resumes for this one.
What a great opportunity.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

150? It will be at least twice that and possibly three times...

What's most impressive is Hoppes will probably read all of them...

In Orlando you don't have to worry about shooting yourself. There's a better-than-average chance someone will do that for you.

What I love most about this job ad is, it doesn't ask for a stupid cover letter. hate those damn things.

Isn't it a given that a cover letter should be included? I'm with you though, if I don't need to do it I'm not going to waste my time.
