Is this an entry-level gig?

 

Good grief. Can't believe doodah is back. Moody, I think he's just trying to bait you.

 

Moddy, I could always say "YOU'RE HIRED!" or "This is a big boi job" but I tend to agree. This question's getting asked every time there's a job posting.

 

Isn't Williston still hiring? I know Dickinson is hiring for the news side.

 

Well, if it's not marked whether or not it's an entry level job, how the hell else will I find out?

 

Elevator obviously doesn't go to the top floor.

 

I've honestly heard of people coming out of school and starting out as SEs at various papers, so I didn't think it was a horrible post to make. Honest.
