What the team is looking for in these applications will vary depending on their role. However, we expect all applicants to appear cooperative and reliable to work with. This is where prior experience in any kind of project would be helpful, but for our interns, not required. We also expect an air of professionalism; this may not be a suit and tie event, but general correct spelling and grammar, clear answers with detailed and relevant information, and enthusiasm about the project shows that you're presenting yourself at your best.

For our formatting applicants, we specifically look for previous experience in formatting zines, as these can have different demands than other works. Do your samples demonstrate a knowledge of graphic design, and employ visual aesthetics adapted to suit the project? Perhaps you have experience in visual arts to supplement your graphic design style? It's certainly not required, but tell us anything that can strengthen your skills!

Intern applicants on the other hand, we expect to show a widespread and general set of skills, dependent on the areas you're interested in working under. For social media: do you have knowledge of the social media platforms we use for the zine? If you intend to work in art or writing, we review your work for the foundational knowledge of said areas to offer appropriate and constructive feedback. And again, while we require no prior mod or zine experience of our applicants, anything that might lend to project management, critique, or any other areas that suit your fancy, we're more than happy to hear about!
