You do have "equivalent professional experience" just link them to your site.

I have professional experience, but I don’t know if I have “equivalent professional experience.” I mean, I guess I could apply for shits and giggles.

Sure you do. You write about sports on a website. They want people who write about their sport on their website. English is your native language and one of the gazillion things you study is communications, so one can assume your grammar is more than excellent. You've got 0 to lose and the whole thing is from home.

 

Starting opportunities don't get more perfect than this.

Fair, I guess I have labeled myself as “the grammar hammer” in the past. Y’all are really pulling for me

No, on Totallympics you often seem to be someone who doesn't much care about grammar or correct spelling of names and then brushing it aside with "I know it's wrong but I'm lazy" (even though a quick Google would be faster and less energy-consuming than explaining that you're lazy), but I have no doubt in a less informal situation than an online forum this is not an issue

Yes, that is correct. What write how I talk on here. I also really just don’t care about grammar mistakes if it’s not for a published statement.

One job is in Germany and the other is a 5-minute walk away from a train station I can reach with a pretty short and easy direct train connection. No thanks
