Do a great job and you'll also get opportunities to write, complete with a byline!

You must be able to receive college credit and should be available at least two full days a week from 10am to 6pm. An interest in home decorating, travel, and - most importantly - writing is necessary. You should be hard working, reliable, organized, and always willing to help.
