In a paragraph or two, tell us why you want to work at Loucon.
Prospective employees will receive consideration without regard to race, sex, national origin, or disability.
Upon receipt of your application we will begin contacting your references. All applicants will be required to attend Loucon’s Interview Weekend, March 22-24, 2013, where you will be expected to lead devotions, Bible Studies, worship, games, and more. You will interact with past staff, applicants, full time staff, and committee members during the weekend. This will provide you with an opportunity to see if this is where God is leading you, and it will allow us to evaluate you on several levels. Loucon will communicate your assignments prior to the weekend so you may plan/prepare. If you are unable to attend the interview weekend you will have one other opportunity for an interview; however your attendance at our retreat will greatly increase your chances for a position. There will be a make up day for interviews should the weather prevent our event or there be another need. There will be only one make up date. Loucon will notify you of our decision in writing no later than April 10th.
