We’re back with a new semester at GW, which means Spoon GW is recruiting! If you’ve got a burning love for food, we’ve got a burning love for you and want you to get involved with us.
We want new members who love writing, photography, videography and social media (besides food, of course) and are ready to work with a kick-ass team of foodies who are just as excited about free food as you are. Need some convincing? Here are a few reasons why you should Spoon with us.
1. Free food

Every college student’s favorite two words. Partnerships with establishments like Swizzler, Cava and District Doughnut mean a great flow of free food. And how does free donuts and other goodies at meetings sound? Dope? We know. We’ve got you covered.
2. Meet your local foodies

We’ve got a team of foodies at your disposal for great food recommendations, recipes, and other food-related things. Go on foodie adventures, get that right food insta shot, up your food snap story game and make those food connections with Spoon.
We know what makes a good food insta, what makes a good cup of coffee and how quickly we need to get to that new food spot so don’t fight us, join us.
3. Get the inside scoop on DC’s food scene and more

Where’s the best new brunch spot? Which food truck should you avoid? Which coffee place do you need to hit this weekend? Where should you take that girl on a date next week?
We’re always in on the food scene and everything that’s happening with it so come get in on it.
4. Improve your skills on…anything

We’re in college now and let’s be real, we have to start thinking about life after college so why not pimp your resumé with something that you actually enjoy doing? Having Spoon on your resumé means showing your future employers that you’re dedicated, highly skilled, and responsible with your work.
You might even end up at Spoon HQ, who knows?
