Why are you applying?
I have been a fan of the Score since 199x and what always impressed me most about the Score was the way they reached out to the people who were most importnat to the station and that's their fans. In a lot of ways I think sports radio is the original social media. I feel that as Social Media Expert I can apply my own expertise of social media on a diverse range of platforms to exploring new and dynamic ways for the Score to engage their loyal listeners.

Who are your biggest influences?
I would definitely have to say that I look up to Dan Bernstein, whose work on twitter has shaped me into the social media expert I am today. Also, I have always admired Laurence Holmes, who is a multi-platform master of social media, as I would be for the Score. I am hoping to follow in the footsteps of Tim "Ten Foot Midget" Baffoe, who reimagined social media for the Score in winning the Scoure Search.

What is your happiest and most memorable moment as a Chicago sports fan?
I'm a diehard Cubs fan, but I would definitely have to say it was in 2005 when the White Sox won the World Series. The happy memories I have from this momentous occasion would definitely enable me to explore and reimagine social media for The Official Radio Home Of The Chicago White Sox.

What are your credentials for this thankless and meaningless job that will pay little or nothing?
I graduated with honors from New Trier and hold a B.A. in English from Tulane University.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

It's another off year for the (St. Xavier University) (?!?) Score Search, as they are not looking for an on-air personality -- there simply aren't weekend overnight hours to spare with C-B-S SPORTS-RA-DI-O!!! -- but rather a "social media expert." So yeah, the sales department has figured out a way to monetize everything, up to and including hiring an intern to run their twitter account.

My only hope is that the applicants write the same bald-faced pandering for a twitter-jockey internship that they would for an air shift:



The winner will be whoever interned for Boers & Bernstein two years ago.

This sounds like the person that would get TenFootMidget his coffee while TenFootMidget gets Dan Bernstein his coffee.

Pretty good, but I don't think spmack is married.

I'm pretty sure anyone with CSFMB ties are immediately eliminated.

Unless they sign up after the fact to pander for votes only to shit on everyone right away.

SHARK has this thing wrapped up.
