Are there any job openings on Typology Central?

[Avocado]

This is the only place people seem to tolerate me. I would gladly like to work here.

 

[prplchknz]

no one gets paid.

oh... I thought the moderators worked here.

 

[Totenkindly]

The site is paid for by occasional donations and out of highlander's pocket, but no one on staff gets paid. We do this in our spare time.

We're glad to hear you really like the site and feel comfortable here.

 

[á´…eparted]

They do, but it's 100% volunteer as Jennifer stated. It's an aside thing they do. It's extremely rare to get paid to moderate a forum, unless you are doing so internally for a company you're employed with that owns the site.

Not much to put in your resume or cv too...

I can imagine job employers all confused about it.

only if they live in the 80s or earlier

I don't think most employers know the full dynamics of forums.

then they should not own businesses.

I dunno there's probably something to be said about a person's leadership abilities to keep an online community of nearly 20,000 running fairly smoothly with an active participating base/readership.

 

[Ivy]

Yeah, I totally put this shit on my resume.

 

[Oaky]

hmmm... I'd say it depends on the business. Forum usage is not common among the majority of the population.

Less than 5% of those 20,000 are actually active here. Also, the moderators are not leaders, they're moderators. They make sure people adhere to set rules for a level of order and harmony. It can be a difficult thing to do, but essentially online forum moderation is fairly different from an office workplace. Most employers wouldn't see it as something that strongly contributes to a job with face to face dynamics.

Risking further derailing, look at you going all Te on me.

You say potato, I say potato. Moderators are totally leaders of a forum they ultimately make the decisions of how the rules are handled, who gets banned, what features get implemented, etc. As for a resume, it's going to depend on the employer--In my subjective opinion, I think this would be a decent booster for any human resources or customer service job.

Print gave us the literate individual and jobs. And a job is a specialisation.

On the other hand the electric media, like Typology Central, gives us roles. And on Central roles are expressed as avatars. Just look to your left and see the role I play with the avatar called Mole.

Most of what they do is policing. The police are not leaders.
