Before you start this application:
To qualify, you must live in the continental US and be eligible to work in the US. This opportunity is open to Wesley Theological Seminary students and any young adults who are not currently enrolled in seminary or who have not completed graduate theological studies.
Make sure you have your resume handy, and the names and contact information for two references. We want to see, read, and hear your responses... you will need to submit at least one audio/video response and one written response. The other two can be in either format! Make it easy on yourself. Write or record your responses before starting this application.

Please respond to each question. You will use the text box for written essays and your response is limited to 700 words. For digital media responses write "digital" in the text box and use the link in the question to upload a video or audio file of no more than 5 minutes per response.
