Editor
If Matt Damon’s role as janitor in Good Will Hunting was to spout out sentences of grammatical perfection and angelic tone (complex calculus is so overrated), this would be you. You tidy up, shine up, and even get to write some of your own articles.

Craft a personal statement telling us why you want to join Spoon and what other cool things you do that you think we should know about (250 words max)
Indulge in Thrillist and past Spoon articles from any chapter, and using the authors’ voices as inspiration compose a mock article you would write for Spoon (400 words max)

Writer
You’ve always had a way with words, especially if it meant weaseling out of a homework assignment that the “cat used as a litterbox.” Oh and you love to speak your mind; because quinoa is so last year, and everyone just has to get freaky for freekeh. One article per week, no problem!
Requirements
Craft a personal statement telling us why you want to join Spoon and what other cool things you do that you think we should know about (250 words max)
Devise 3 headlines and tweetable decks that you would click on

Business/Marketing
You love the idea of Spoon so much that you can’t stop planning the next foodie event of the century. Dining Services may have shot down your idea for a campus wide food fight in Dfo, but you are loud, you are proud, and you’re packing some serious punch in your Facebook and Twitter arsenals.

Attached resume + brief cover letter as the body of your email
