Do you have what it takes to face off with the biggest names in the game? If so, you might be Nike’s next Field Reporter. Read on. As the Nike Field Reporter, you’ll jetset around the country on Nike’s dime talking to athletes, artists and culture makers. You’ll report back in the form of photos, videos and blog entries.You have to be ready for anything and anyone. As this is being written, the current Nike Field Reporter is spending a few days just hanging out with Kobe Bryant. Think you could keep up? Remember this isn’t a job for the camera shy. Or the easily intimidated. You’ll need to show us you can talk a good game, as well as play one. Make us laugh. Impress us with your quick wit and storytelling. Prove to us you are Nike’s next star in a 2-minute audition video and sample blog post.
How it goes down
Write a sample blog post and give us some details about yourself. Then, upload a video telling us why you are the one. Applications will be reviewed and the Top 10 candidates chosen. One lucky gal will be crowned the next Nike Field Reporter.
Rules of the game
Even the world’s best job requires attention to detail: Gotta be an 18-24 year old girl. Sorry gals, we can’t accept college or high school sports team athletes. Eligibility issues. Besides, you’re busy enough already.
When picking your wardrobe, you must avoid wearing items with your school or sports team names, or logos of any sort (except Nike, of course!). Don’t reference any other teams, companies, or organizations.
If you have anyone else in the video, they need to sign a waiver. No music please. We love music, it’s a rights thing.
Deadline for submissions: June 15th, 2009 7PM PST. Finalists are announced July 1st, 2009. The next Nike Field Reporter will be announced at the end of July.
