We only ask that you commit to a minimum of one post (400 word min.) per week and a minimum of 8-10 weeks. More details will be provided during the interview process.

*Additional info from Patrick:
If they do a good job, I am willing to serve as a personal reference for the writers that show a dedication to WSO and help us move forward. I can vouch that they busted their ass and are hard workers - exactly what banks are looking for.
For example I wrote a great endorsement for a previous intern on LinkedIn (the intern that built our entire finance dictionary from scratch and did an amazing job). He now has me as a personal reference any time he is applying for jobs because he went above and beyond my expectations.
Testimonials:
Having WSO on my resume has been awesome. People always respond super positively to the fact that I write on the site and it's a great conversation topic.
