<p>Hey, I'm having trouble finding out how difficult it is to be hired for The Weekly. If anyone has any input, it would be much appreciated (how competitive, seniority based, etc.)</p>
<p>Hello, sonicbluth! Having worked with The Occidental Weekly before, I can help you out. Before the start of every semester, The Weekly will post an application link either in The Root Digest, which every student receives once they get an Oxy email account, or on their Facebook page. In the past they have hired applicants with little to no journalism experience. However, if you are applying as a staff writer, you do have to provide two writing clips. Hope this helps!</p>
