Do you need money? Like to write? Want to learn more about the journalistic process? Like the idea of working with a team of fellow students to churn out a new publication every week? Writing for the AS Review might be the job for you.
The AS Review is looking to add to our writing staff for spring quarter. If you are interested in the position, visit jobs.wwu.edu to check out the job description and apply online. AS Review writers are hourly employees paid $11 per hour and expected to work 10 to 15 hours per week. (The Associated Students is also hiring for over 90 positions for next school year. Find out more on page 8.)
I was a writer last year, and I loved the experience. I could do the majority of my work while sitting on my couch at home with a mug of Earl Grey. The position also gave me a lot of practice scheduling and conducting interviews, and I now feel more comfortable in those sorts of situations than I used to. Working for a year as a writer for the AS Review prepared me well for my current position as editor-in-chief, a job that is providing me with plenty of leadership and management experience as well as copyediting and design work.
We encourage and welcome applicants from any major, not just journalism or English. Prospective writers should be prepared to do lots of interviewing, researching and writing, attend weekly staff meetings and consistently generate ideas for stories and columns.
I hope you consider applying to be an AS Review writer. We have a lot of fun here and we would love to welcome new team members.
Thank you for reading,
Morgan Annable
