Heard a rumor that Patrick was interested in this position, so I had to take care of bidness. Take a hike Roy, or next time I'll send Vernon after ya.

Of course the Detroit Red Wings get priority on my site, topping the list in “my quest to become your next employee.”  Those of you who know me best are aware of my affinity for the winged wheel, and what native Michigander doesn’t love all things Hockeytown?  But as much as this position is about a dream opportunity to work for the Red Wings, for me it’s also about – ya know – the position itself.  I can say all sorts of pretty things on a résumé (and all of them are true), but if I want to be the Social Networking Coordinator for one of the Original Six, I figure it’s best to try and prove my worth.  We’ll get into some of the details associated with the position momentarily.  First, a little housekeeping, and some links to pages you can visit to help me build my case for why I should be the Red Wings next Social Networking Coordinator.

POSITION: Social Networking Coordinator
COMPANY: Detroit Red Wings
TWITTER ACCOUNT: Yes. (@HireMeRedWings)
FACEBOOK PAGE: Yes.  (Hire Me, Red Wings)
APPLICATION PROCESS: Complete.

STRENGTHS: I have a bachelor’s degree in Media Arts, and 2+ years of experience with social networking and online content management.  I also have multiple years of experience in broadcast media and writing for sports blogs, which could add to my worth as a member of the Red Wings’ communications staff.  I’m proficient with Microsoft Office, Audacity, file converters, and FTP sites, along with having a working knowledge of Photoshop.  I’ve been able to cultivate many positive working relationships with co-workers and external contacts (members of the media, coaches, etc.).  Each of my past jobs have required highly developed verbal and written communication skills, an ability to work independently, a strong attention to detail, extreme flexibility and adaptability, problem solving and project management skills – all required for this job opening.
