I'm sorry, we already have all the jobs for journalist and assistant journalist taken.Thank you!Thanks. You might be accepted.APPLICATION FORM:I'm sorry, there are enough journalists. However, you can try for an assistant journalist, who only works if one of the journalists is absent. Also, please give us a nonfiction article, not a fiction one.
1. What job are you applying for? Game reviewer or journalist
2. How skilled are you at that job? (1-10) I will let you be the judge of that!!
3. How often are you online? (1-10) 5-9
4. Give us the example of your work. (Provide a link.) This is a book I was writing, but it didn't turn out good. But it can be an example for writing I guess!
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/16005072/ Its not extremely good, but its the only kind of writing I have ever done on scratch. I can do better than this though!
OK, I would love to be an assistant journalist, which works out, because I am trying to make a small newspaper of my own.
ok, now for a non-fiction article….. I cant think of any good ones right now, So lets just write about Scratch!!
Scratch is a website that teaches you the basics of computer programming while meeting new people and joining clubs. Scratch allows you to make any kind of project or game you want. From math to minecraft, science to music, you name it, you can make it! Scratch allows you to talk to other people , with the ability to report a user if they are being a bully or saying bad things. You are allowed to Like and Favorite peoples projects, but never down vote. In my personal opinion, I think not being able to down vote is a good thing, because if you were allowed to, people would get discouraged, and might want to quit. There is also a feature that lets you turn off commenting on projects. This is a very good feature to use if people are saying bad things and having arguments in the comments. You can just turn them off and they wont argue on your project! This feature is also available on your profile, for the same reasons you can do it on projects. So you see, Scratch is a user friendly site, were you can meet new people and make cool projects! Thank you for reading!

Sorry, but journalists and reporters do game reviews.

I know I am the reporter, but I am also good at poetry. Maybe you can use this in the next issue:
Eyes
Eyes, piercing eyes
Slash through the darkness
And are staring at me.
Our gazes meet
I’m quick on my feet
Tap-tap-tap
Feet on cobblestone
Sounds through the night
Fright in the air
Everywhere
I seem to not care
I run
I fall
Down through the darkness
The never ending pit
That haunts me
Then I see it
Eyes
Eyes
Eyes, piercing eyes
Slash through the darkness
And are staring at me.

Hello!
Ever since I saw your comment on @mikeono102's profile, I've been intrigued by you!
I, myself, work at my school newspaper!
Down to business:
1: Journalist and/or reporter
2: Journalist: 8.5
Reporter: 8.9
3: I'm online Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays - would that count as a 7 on the rating scale?
4: Here's my example article!
Thanks!

-I am applying for writer.
-I write and read all the time, so yah.
-10. It's embarrassing. XD
- I'll give you a bit of my writing…
From the middle of a story(wrote this a few weeks ago…)
…After a few minutes of fruitless thinking, he stood up. The shopkeeper was ushering Alex to a hidden trapdoor, where they would be safer. Alex happily complied. He was not in the mood for being eaten by monsters. The oddest thing was, the underground city was supposed to be cloaking the people as to not alert monsters to their whereabouts, but the truth was dawning on everybody.
The last safe house was gone.
I have also written in newspapers, but they're on paper and I'm too lazy to type them onto here. .. that snippet was from a Google doc.
)—–(
So, yea. Can you respond to me in a comment? That would be much appreciated.

Thanks for reading and considering my application! :3

when I receive [ Scratch Weekly ]
say [Wow this sounds cool!] for (1) secs
say [I might want to apply, I'll have to check my schedule.] for (1) secs
ask [Also, what kind of "example" are you looking for?] and wait
