Just wanted to see if anyone works/worked at National Geographic magazine & if so, could pls give me the scoop on the office vibe and atmosphere. I've heard it's really hard to land a job there, but I'm going to try. Thanks in advance!

I thought I'd pass this along. I'm helping to produce this event at the World Congress of Science & Factual Producers (www.wcsfp.com) in November. If you're interested please read the casting notice below.
Thanks and best of luck,
