We’ve got some great jobs available soon, as well as some blogging positions. If you’re a current U of I student and you want to get some great experience in media, consider applying for one of these jobs! If you’d like to apply for any of these positions, send me an e-mail at producer@the217.com with your name, phone number, and the position that you’re interested in.

•Presentation Editor: This person is responsible for how the site looks: those rotating centerpieces on the front page, the art attached to an article, and the layout of the sections. If you’re organized, have an artistic eye and can write headlines, this might be a good job for you! Photoshop experience is a big plus. This job will start in January 2009.

•Assistant Producer for Calendar: This person is very important to our site: we have the most comprehensive calendar in Champaign-Urbana, and it requires a dedicated producer to make sure all the listings get in and are correct. If you’re extremely detail-oriented and a people person, this is a great job for you! This job will start in January 2009.

•Bloggers: We’re looking for two types of bloggers right now: those who want to contribute to our daily current events blog, The Lowdown, and bloggers who want to create their own unique product by starting a blog hosted on our site. If you like to write and you want people to read what you have to say every day, this is a great outlet for you! These positions are available immediately.

Elle Destree: I'm your trusty producer of the217. You'll most likely see me going to local shows, eating potatoes, buying obscene amounts of vinyl at one time, getting nervous around squirrels and checking my email 30 times a day. Speaking of that, email me at producer@the217.com with any comments/questions about the site.
