This job will be very hard. There is no such thing as “enough”. There is always more you can do, and I will push you to do it. If I push someone who doesn’t want to be pushed, we will have a bad relationship, and nobody wants that. Please think critically about this question: Do you want this job? If no, I ask that you close the application, and do not submit.

Yes No

This job requires your full attention and focus. If hired, do you agree to make this your only job (no other employment, freelancing, or side businesses) while you’re here?

Yes No

What do you want? There are no wrong answers, and nobody will judge you.

What is the longest amount of time you've worked on a single thing before it "worked"? By "worked", I mean "did the thing you wanted it to do". This can be an individual project or a business as a whole. Please describe it.

Reid Olson Media operates on three values:

Unbreakable Integrity: Be the type of person who does what they said they were going to do. Even when it's inconvenient. Even when no one's watching.

Unreasonable Effort: Do 10x the work for 10x the time with 10x the intelligence. Rip the reality you want into existence.

Humility: Have extremely high regard for others. Leave things better than you found them.

Living these values requires sacrifice, delayed gratification, and discomfort.

Living up to these comes with lots of sacrifice, pain, and delayed results. Do you want this job? If no, I ask that you close the application, and do not submit this form.

Yes No

What is something you believe that most people would disagree with you about? (You will not offend the person who reads this.)
