READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE APPLYING. SUPER SERIOUS ABOUT THIS!
Hello job-seeker, it's Courtney here. Whenever Louder with Crowder posts job openings, we're flooded with applicants. When I say "flooded" I don't mean a casual trickle, nor a gentle stream down which we could row a boat merrily, merrily, merrily. Think more of an astroid hitting the Pacific Ocean a la a late 90's disaster film. We appreciate the enthusiasm to join our dedicated team. Seriously. It's beyond flattering. But you need to know your application is a drop in the wall of water heading toward those of us *ahem* who must sort through them.
As such, it's critical you follow all directions outlined. Failure to do so will result in your application's swift termination with nary a care from me or anyone else on staff. It's not that we don't love and appreciate you for the special person you are. We just have hundreds of applications to sort through. Pray for us.
BEFORE YOU APPLY for any position listed below, read this bit of backhanded advice wrapped in kind of friendly insults, written by yours truly the last time we had a hiring spree: Okay Millennials, Y'all Need to Learn How to Apply for Jobs.
QUICK TIPS FOR SUCCESS:
- Keep your resume to one page. Resumes over one page shall be deleted.
- Apply for the job only if you're qualified. It's great you want to be part of the company and the show. We love that. But we can't hire people because they're fans. We need qualified applicants only.
- Hundreds of people apply. Do not contact anyone at LWC wondering if your resume was received. You'll only be contacted if we want to set up an interview. If you contact us through our private internet accounts and channels wondering where you are in the process, it won't be good for you. Read between the lines there. Help us help you, and respect the hiring process.
