Southwest Airline Seeks Blog-o-spondent

Posted on August 25, 2008

Southwest Airlines is looking for a new blog-o-spondent. This is someone who will be traveling to Southwest cities across the country and filming short segments for Southwest's blog - sort of a traveling video blogger. Gadling suggests acting quirky and sharing your love of flying in your video submission.

Over the past few months, the airline took one of their lucky employees through a whirlwind tour of the company as she video blogged the entire experience. Now, they're looking for a Southwest fan to hand off the reins. The lucky person will be assigned a year's worth of excitement as he or she jetsets around the country, video blogging on the entire airline, experience and any excitement that's going on in the Southwest community.

Obviously the airline is going to pick someone that's quirky, loves flying and is great on video, so try to emulate those traits if you don't have them and put together a one minute video application.

The contest started earlier this month and is already nearing an end but you still have several days to upload a video explaining why you should be Southwest Airline's Blog-o-spondent. The submission deadline is August 31st. Below is a video from Southwest about the contest.
