Job description

Overview

We are looking for 3-4 drama, theater and debate major types to be the face of ONC and act out short videos and other content. We need creative writers to back them up by providing material, jokes, scripts. If you can handle both roles, all the better. This is something one of our interns, Megan Amato, used to do. It’s called “Explain That to Me Again?” It was quite good and generated a lot of traffic. Here’s a link: https://www.instagram.com/p/C7zPsFxtIZS/ Want to be our next Megan Amato?

Another intern, Sam Taylor, used to dress up like Uncle Sam and ask a Question Of The Day https://www.tiktok.com/@ournationalconversation/video/726205381594220

We are looking for a scriptwriter to support our new Uncle Sam. We’re also looking for a new Uncle Sam; if you can pull double duty, all the better. In addition to our ideas, we want your ideas. We are looking for new creative energy coming from those who understand a “Saturday Night Live” vibe (only we want to be equal opportunity offenders, poking clean fun at liberals, moderates and conservatives alike).

There is no pay at this time. That said, you WILL get excellent hands-on experience and the chance to really build your resume. Who knows? Maybe this will be your big break. We won’t know till we try. Be ready to commit to four to 10 hours a week. We are completely remote and use Slack, Google Drive and Zoom to communicate. There are two, one-hour mandatory meetings each week. We operate on a semester basis; if you can commit to at least two or three semesters, that’s a big plus.

Responsibilities

• Act as the face of ONC in short videos and other content and contribute material, jokes, and scripts for performers.
• Collaborate with performers and writers; if possible, handle both roles.
• Contribute ideas with a Saturday Night Live vibe while poking clean fun at diverse audiences.
• Support content related to the Uncle Sam character and related skits.

Qualifications

• Drama, theater, and debate background or related major types; ability to write scripts and improvise.
• Creative energy and ability to work remotely using Slack, Google Drive, and Zoom.
• Willingness to commit 4–10 hours per week and attend two 1-hour mandatory meetings per week.
• Portfolio or links to video clips or social media posts relevant to the role.

Compensation and Duration

No pay at this time; this is an experiential opportunity to build your resume and gain hands-on experience. Engagement is semester-based with potential for multiple semesters.

Application Instructions

Please send a 2–4 paragraph cover letter along with a resume and any links to video clips or social media posts you think are relevant. Tell us why you, and why ONC, appeal to you.
