1) Show us your editing skills.

Saying you can edit videos doesn’t cut it. Show us!

2) How creative are you?

What creative ideas would you bring to Flotrack? We want someone who can take the sport to new heights. To the outside world track is just people running in circles, but to us, track is the best thing since sliced bread.

3) Can you handle it?

Remember the running season never ends. It’s a 24-7-365 sport. Indoor -> Outdoor -> Cross Country -> Back to Indoor. We are looking for someone who can keep up with the sport with the desire to travel and constantly be on top of the running news cycle.

4) Tell us what you bring to the table that others do not.

And don’t say "passion for track" because we know everyone reading this is passionate for the sport and loves track & field.

5) What grade did you get in public speaking class?

While we don’t actually care what grade you got, we do care about how good you are on camera. The position requires you to be on camera, doing play-by-play, interviewing athletes, and interacting with fans. So if you are camera shy don’t apply.
