It’s Time to Apply for Season 3!

bloggers, Quarterlife Crisis, writing gigs

That’s right ladies. You’ve got some big shoes to fill, but I have sneaky suspicion that you can totally do this.

It all started with…

“I need your help! Do you know a woman who “has survived/is surviving their Quarterlife Crisis”?

Someone open and sassy and authentic? Between 23-33? And wants to blog about their journey? Please have them email me so we can talk about a new project I’m putting together! “

That was June 2009 and it resulted with a fabulous Season 1 with Robyn, Kendra, Marisa and Andrea. We followed their journey for six months of ups and downs: new relationships, job searches, terminations, travel, self-reflection, and lots of growth. Currently we’re in the thick of the amazing Season 2 with Nicole, Heather and Katie. We’ve seen jobs left, freelance lives created, books under way, depression tackled, new love and big moves.

I couldn’t be more impressed and proud of each and every blogger and the incredibly journey they have shared.

But guess what? It’s time to find fresh blood and new gals for “Season 3”. Interested? Currently in the midst of conquering your Quarterlife Crisis? Wahoo! Read on.

Just in case you miss this at the bottom: APPLICATIONS ARE DUE BY FRIDAY JUNE 18th. NO EXCEPTIONS. Got it?!

WHY?

Here at Stratejoy we value Inspiration, Joy, Authenticity, Guts, Accountability, Clarity, Camaraderie, and Sass. The ultimate vision is a thriving “authentic happiness” movement that reaches Quarter Lifers worldwide, with both an incredible online and offline community.

That’s where you come in! I want to share your story. I think it’s vital to share our tales of “hitting bottom” in our Quarterlife Crisis and then share the journey we are on to carve out life on our own terms. As a generation, we don’t want to be preached to… We want to recognize ourselves in the stories we read and feel a sense of connection. We want to see that others go through the same struggles and be inspired by their success.

HOW?

I am looking for 4 women to guest blog on Stratejoy for a minimum of 6 months. The posts will go live in August 2010, but the writing begins in July. I have had an amazing amount of interest thus far and are looking to find the right fit between diverse bloggers and our values as a company.

Position is unpaid, but super cool… You would be doing it out of love or some need to document this part of your life. I would appreciate you, support you and give you access to all tools, courses and inspiration I have available. Promise.

Desired

Attitude. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have your own blog, but I need you to have sass! Or humor! Or an unique perspective on the world. Or some such combination of fabulousness…
Desire to share your story in real time in order to inspire other Quarter Lifers.
Tech savy with WordPress or other blogging software.

Required

Honesty. The struggles, the doubts, the celebrations and the breakthroughs.
Mad writing skills. Complete and utter love of the written word.
One post per week with photo(s). Some will be posed questions/themes, many will just be personal updates from your life. Posts need to be completed on time and with your best effort.
Posting with your first name, age, city and photo. Last name NOT required.
Conference call monthly (or at my discretion!) with your proud mama (me) and the other bloggers.

Discouraged

The reason you want to guest blog on Stratejoy is to promote your own business. It’s totally cool with me if you talk about your biz since it’s part of your life and your QLC, but that cannot be why you want to be a part of this project.
If you feel totally and radically done with your QLC. Good for you! But not good for sharing a real time journey…

APPLY

I want to hear from you! If you’re interested in blogging for Stratejoy, please send the following information by Friday, June 18th, 2010.

1. Name, day job, job-you-do-out-of-love, city, age, social media links, website (if applicable)

2. Photo that expresses your most authentic self

3. 250 words on “Why you want to be a Stratejoy Blogger”

4. 500 word introduction to you and your story. Pretend you are writing your very first blog post!

5. Phone number & best time to reach you

It would be most awesome if you created a word document with all the information so I can easily print and review. Hurrah! Also, if you applied for Season 1 or 2, it’s fine to apply for Season 3– but I do need a new application from you! Just let me know that you applied for a previous season.

Please know that each application is absolutely considered. Final bloggers are chosen on several factors: writing skill, current situation, diversity, personality, and unique contribution.

Send all info to molly [@] stratejoy [.] com by the deadline. I am so ridiculously excited to read/memorize/adore your application and put together an amazing team for Season 3.

JOY FOR ALL!

This is so bittersweet! I can't wait to see some fresh faces. This is an emotional leave for me, but at the same time, I can't wait to see Season 2's "littles" start. Sorry, I was never in a Sorority, but I always loved the idea of "Bigs" and "Littles".

Viva La Season 3!
