[title]Wanted![/title]Staff member
We are looking for a new staff member for The Nerd Domain. The role includes handling member disputes, moderating the forum, making decisions on behalf of the staff team when required and administration duties. We're looking for a confident individual who can handle the job well with integrity for a minimum of 90 days (three months).

Skills Required

  • Able to dedicate at least fourteen hours/week to the site & staff duties.
  • Excellent English skills (including reading & grammar).
  • Maturity - No required age.
  • Motivation to be a member of the community (IE: posting and mingling).
  • Common sense & decision making.
  • Teamwork.
Preferred Skills

  • HTML & CSS knowledge.
  • JavaScript & jQuery knowledge.
  • Knowledge & experience with the ZetaBoards forum software.
  • An interest in IT and websites.
  • Being social with others (friendly too).
The job is not a high maintenance job so you will not be pressured to act quickly on things. This is a position is permanent and will require you to be a dedicated staff member. Once you have completed 90 days as a staff member, you may choose to retire as a VIP of the forum or continue. If you resign before your 90 days then you will not receive this option. Upon resignation, you must notify senior staff members seven days in advance.

The job will require you to act as a moderator of the forum: dealing with tedious things such as wrongly placed threads or spammers. This includes enforcing the forum rules. You will have a staff guide to reference from should you get stuck along with three other staff members (myself included) to request help if the guide isn't enough for you. Should you not know about the ZetaBoards forum software, you will be taught how to moderate things appropriately and how to deal with member disputes. You will have limited access to the Admin Control Panel to manage member accounts and such. All of that is straight forward.

If you are accepted for the position, you will receive a staff email (such as ferby@thenerddomain.com) and be added to our staff page. We don't require a photo of you but we do ask that you provide your full name and a short biography (about a paragraph). You will be moved into the Staff group and have access to our staff forum where you will find certain staff-only things such as the reference guide. We do encourage a rotation of staff members to post the bi-weekly updates so once-in-a-while you will be asked to (a template will be provided).

You will answer to the Director(s) as your superior(s) and will follow orders upon request. You will also work alongside other staff members and be required to work as a team to solve issues. The position is completely voluntary which means you are entitled to be notified before you are laid off and for what reason. We also expect maturity and integrity when representing the site.

If you are interested in the position then please post a thread with the application layout below. If we'd like to consider your application then we may ask questions in the thread so be sure to check it regularly. Please modify this layout accordingly...
