Searching for a New Wolfkin Social Group Leader

[Dwynwen]

As some of you know, Doselan had to step down as the Wolfkin Social Group Leader due to RL constraints. We posted a call for applications from within the Wolfkin, but did not receive enough applications from people who fit the qualifications we need. As a result, since we want to find the best leader possible for this wonderful group, we are inviting people from all of DM to apply. The new deadline for applications is March 31. More information about applying can be found below.

 

 

Job Duties for Social Group Leaders:

 

1. Able to dedicate at least 10 hours a week to this Social Group and DM Staff. This includes keeping up with threads on the DM Staff boards, engaging in Staff discussions, participating in Staff projects, posting in your Social Group, reading posts at your Social Group, leading activities or discussions in your Social Group or any other leadership responsibilities for your Social Group.

 

2. Group Leaders must develop a plan to include some WoT content within the Social Group. This can be as simple as an occasional WoT based game (mafia, clue, cookpot, etc.) or as complex as an ongoing discussion series (for example, the Wolfkin could discuss why they think certain people in the series are more likely to become Wolfbrothers).

 

3. Social Group leaders are expected to post Social Group reports once a month on the DM Staff board. Your Social Group report should reflect how well your Social Group is performing. Formats and examples are found on the Staff board.

 

4. As stated above, Social Group leaders are members of DM Staff. They act as representatives of the members of DM and therefore their input is vital in the decision making process. Social Group leaders should be actively engaged in discussions on the DM Staff board.

 

5. Social Group leaders act as role models to other DM members.

 

6. Able to give at least a 6 month commitment of being able to devote 10 hours a week to your duties. LOAs will come up, of course.

 

Anyone that thinks they can fulfill the requirements may apply.

 

The Application Process:

 

If you are interested, please send an email to community@dragonmount.com.

 

In each application, please include:

 

* Your DM Handle;

* Some details about who you are in real life, including anything you think will have prepared you for leadership (including past online leadership experience);

* Ideas/goals for improving this Social Group. If you can, please specify what you would aim to have accomplished within the first 30, 60, and 90 days of getting the job;

* Ideas/goals for improving Dragonmount as a whole;

* Ideas/goals for incorporating WoT activities into the Social Group; and

* Anything else that you think would set you apart from other applicants.

 

Note: We generally receive many good applications, and can only choose one person to fill the slot. To give that person the benefit of the ideas suggested by other applicants, we will forward the new Group Leader a copy of the ideas section from all applications submitted, so they can decide whether to implement some or all of those ideas (with appropriate credit, of course). If you do NOT want your application shared with anyone else, please say so in your application and we will honor that request. We can also send a de-identified copy if you want your ideas shared, yet do not want your identity revealed. Otherwise, your application will be shared with the Group Leader.

 

Once the application deadline has passed, either Kivam or I will set up a time to interview each applicant by Googletalk, Skype, or MSN (note: only Dwyn can interview using MSN). Basically we will review your application and may ask a few follow-up questions. This is also a great opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about the position or any expectations we may have.

 

This position is currently open to all members of DM.

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and we will try to answer them.
