You could at least provide education experience and whatnot in a resume. We just like to see your background and where you are coming from. From our perspective, if you aren't willing to put together a resume for the job, we are most likely weeding out people who won't go the extra mile when they're on board anyways

OS = very lighthearted work atmosphere. Sounds like you just wouldn't fit.

Just in terms of freelance pay. You WILL NOT be able to quit your day job.

The latter is all we pay attention to, Age won't necessarily DQ you. I started writing about Sports Video Games at 14/15....so if anyone on the net is going to understand what a younger person can do, it'd probably be me

Gotcha! I keep a resume ready to go at all times. I had to learn that the hard way.

I graduated from FSU with a BA in English/Communications last Fall and have been looking for work in the Sports/Sports Gaming Journalism field since. (I currently work for Major League Gaming as the Call of Duty: Black Ops Feature Writer) I just sent in my application and resume. Good luck to everyone! @DillonJLowery

Hey, congrats on the FSU degree. I also graduated from FSU with an English/Communications degree.

-Two short relevant writing samples (preferably 400 words or less)

Is there a certain preference for the category of these writing samples? For example, can it be a blog post, an article, a forum post, etc.
