Several weeks ago I applied to a Writer/Editor position at the World Famous Internet Website, Reddit.com.
I'm a long-time member of the site and spend (probably) too much time poking around the various sub-Reddits, front page, and Reddit TV. I've learned a lot from the community and would be excited to be a part of it as it grows into something huge.
Check out my application content below. I think I'll get a call, don't you?

Of course, I also sent my resume, a link to my online portfolio, a link to this blog, and a link to my LinkedIn profile.
