======= ===== MODERATOR RECRUITMENT MESSAGE=====
Tacoma Area Freecycle(TM) needs a part-time morning/early afternoon
volunteer to be a group moderator. Moderators must live here.
Training is provided.
If you're interested in making a contribution to your community and
your planet; in learning a little about online community building and
media relations; and in keeping stuff out of the local landfill,
please keep reading!
Being a moderator doesn't require a lot of time but does require some
dedication. There is lots of support available, it's fun
and is a small thing that can make such a big difference.
If you are interested, please read through these qualifications, and
if you think you meet most or all of the requirements get back to us
as soon as possible:
MODERATORS SHOULD HAVE THESE QUALIFICATIONS
*Must live in the area served by Tacoma Area Freecycle.
*Have a basic knowledge of the Freecycle rules. They can be looked up
and learned fairly quickly.
*Time! You should have an hour or so in the morning and early
afternoon to devote to moderating a group.
*It is a volunteer position - there is no pay or tangible benefits,
just the joy of knowing you're giving back to your community.
*Computer, Internet access and computer skills. (Obviously another
"must")
*Internet experience. Knowledge of Yahoo! Groups is a huge plus, but
not required.
*Writing skills. Correct spelling, proper punctuation, complete
sentences, and proper grammar are a must.
*You must not type in "chat mode" or "IM mode." This means no all
upper or lower case typing!
*The ability to follow instructions. Guidelines have been set up for
all Freecycle group moderators to maintain in order to be listed on
the main Freecycle web page.
*A positive attitude and the ability to keep your cool when dealing
with irate or irresponsible members.
*An interest in environmental causes - you know that Freecycle isn't
about FREE stuff but about keeping stuff out of the landfills and
building community!
There are materials available to help teach people the tricks of
moderating a Freecycle group and there will be a more experienced mod
assigned to help train you.
Simply answer these questions and send to us. You'll hear back within
a week. All information is strictly confidential and will not be
shared or otherwise distributed outside of Freecycle management. We
ask for some personal information for safety and liability reasons
and to be able to contact you in an emergency.
Thanks for your consideration,
Your Tacoma Area Freecycle Moderators
