Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, is looking for what he calls the world’s best creative storytellers—and applicants do not need a resume, cover letter, college degree or conventional work experience to get considered.
MrBeast Launches Global Search for YouTube Creative Strategists
In a post on X on Tuesday, Donaldson wrote, “I’m looking for the best creative storytellers on the planet!”
He directed interested candidates to submit an email address and answer three questions, adding, “We’re reviewing every application, let’s change the world.”
The opening is for a YouTube Creative Strategist at Beast Industries, the company behind MrBeast’s sprawling content and consumer business.
No Resume or Cover Letter Required for MrBeast Job
According to the application website, the company is focused less on an applicant’s educational background or employment history and more on how they understand YouTube.
The site says, “Forget the formalities,” explaining that candidates will be judged on their ability to analyze videos and communicate their creative thinking.
Applicants must record video responses to three prompts.
The first asks them to select two MrBeast videos released within the past year and explain what worked, including elements such as storytelling structure, pacing, characters, emotional stakes, viewer retention, thumbnails and titles.
Applicants Must Critique MrBeast Videos and Improve a Proven Format
The second question asks candidates to identify weaknesses in one or two recent MrBeast videos and offer direct suggestions for what they would cut, rewrite or restructure.
For the final challenge, applicants must reimagine one of the company’s “$1 Series” videos. They are expected to explain a stronger framework, opening hook, challenges, twists, stakes, pacing and ending—and make the case for why their concept would outperform the original.
The application highlights, “Specifics, Not Vibes. Real Answers, Not Safe Ones,” signaling that the company wants detailed criticism rather than broad praise.
MrBeast’s $2.6 Billion Fortune and Promise to Give It All Away
Celebrity Net Worth estimates MrBeast’s net worth at $2.6 billion, while his main YouTube channel boasts 510 million subscribers, making it the largest on the platform.
Despite his vast fortune, Donaldson said in 2023 that he plans to give it all away, declaring, “I promise to give away all my money before I die. Every single penny.”
