If You’re Creative, Throw Your Resume Away Rather Than the Opportunity!
So we frequently get resumes, and I understand that it’s an age-old-tradition, and they’re great to quick snapshot all of your capabilities – but they tell me nothing! They all look the same, and none of them show me your passion, your personality, your creativity… I want to know what makes you, you. So with that – we are showing you the dull and boring job description, but with it, I’d love to hear from the talented group in our industry in a unique way, why we should consider hiring you. You can respond at employment@mediatwo.net, or reach out to us socially, or use the good old-fashioned USPS – you decide – we’re game!
