Here it is —- the dream job for Cleveland Browns fans who’ve spent more hours on social media this week than they have playing in the yard with their kids over the past six months. Remain calm, Browns fan. The organization is looking for a Vice President of Digital Media. Your dream of sitting around all day thinking of Browns tweets and Facebook posts is waiting to become a reality.
Get the resume cleaned up. Pump out a cover letter. Clean up the f-bombs on your Twitter account. Remove the angry comments to your high school buddies on Facebook after last week’s loss to the Jags. You want to look as professional as possible now that the team needs a vice president.

You know who isn’t getting the job? These 12 candidates who had their shot but had their resumes thrown away after such disgusting comments about the team they would’ve worked for. That’s the way it goes. Some (white?) guy will get this job and his team of nerds will nerd up the social media platform for the team. It’s just the way the corporate world works.
