Flo Job Search: Do You Have What It Takes?
Willie Saylor and Mark Bader

As such, Bader and I are in search of a couple of warriors ready to cover, promote, and grow the world's oldest and great sport.

FloNation is filled with passionate wrestling fans, many of whom are talented. But there's more to life at FLO that what you see on the site. Though we have the best jobs ever, there's a lot of grunt work that goes on behind the scenes. What we want to know is: who is interested and who has the chops to cut it in a high-paced, creative, and technical environment?
