# Hair By Jen — Assistant Application Page

> **Note on the JD above the form:** Jen has already removed "foiling" from the Advanced Styling Support paragraph and added the $20/hour starting rate. Both good. No edits needed there for now.

## Intro copy (above the form)

If this sounds like you, fill out the form below. A few quick basics, then a few short questions. Don't overthink them — I'm just trying to get a feel for who you are before we hop on a call.

## Submit button copy

*"Send it over"* — feels more like Jen than "Submit application."

## What each question is filtering for (reference, not for the page)

| # | What it surfaces |
|---|---|
| 5 | Practical dealbreaker — license status. No call until this is real. |
| 6 | Practical dealbreaker — commute. Won't last if it's a 90-min drive. |
| 7 | Practical dealbreaker — schedule mismatch. |
| 8 | Whether she's been watching, or blasting applications. |
| 9 | Forces her to prove she's actually looked — generic answer reveals generic candidate. |
| 10 | Craft direction. Anchors in what she already reaches for, not a hypothetical 5-year plan. |
| 11 | Expectation match. Surfaces "wants cheerleading" vs "wants real teaching" before the call. |
| 12 | The single highest-signal question on the page. Catches energy on camera, ability to articulate herself, whether she hits the time limit (self-discipline + follows direction), and whether she's comfortable on camera at all (matters for the content creation piece of the role). A heavily produced video reads as performance over presence — pay attention to that. A relaxed, present, one-take video is what you're hoping for. |
