Accepting applications for SGL

[Verbal32]

As you know, Naeann resigned as Shayol Ghul Social Group Leader. As a result, I need to find a new SG Leader, and I am calling for applications now. Applications for this position will be open until July 6th.

 

 

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.

 

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 me at verbal32@gmail.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, I 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 I will honor that request. I 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, I will set up a time to interview each applicant by Googletalk, Skype, or MSN. Basically, I 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 I may have.

 

This position is currently open only to members of the SG Social Group (of any rank). If I do not receive at least 2 real applications from within the Social Group by the deadline (meaning applications that meet the requirements laid out above and are not there to simply meet the 2 app req), I will open up applications to all of Dragonmount. Nobody (including me) wants to see an outsider come in to take over the SG, so please apply if you think you'd even have the faintest inkling of doing a good job at it.

 

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

What should applicants wear when you interview them? *innocent look*

[LilyElizabeth]

Nyn, this is Verb you're talking to! You know what he's going to say as well as I do!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Verb, would it help? *grin*

Hahahahahahaha.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes.

[Christine]

Pinned this, LIKE A RESPONSIBLE PERSON.

 

 

*shakes finger at non responsible person*

 

 

Anyone that wears clothes to an interview with Verb can only have one thing in mind... taking them off.

[RandA lThor]

*whistles*

[Christine]

...

 

 

What?

 

 

Rand, you are still new around here, but all Social Groups are the same way in how their SGL is chosen. It is always like this. I don't know what you think happened at the BT, but Tina had to apply, be interviewed, and be selected for the job of SGL. There was no just "filling in" positions.

[RandA lThor]

Oh, never mind, I thought that was how it happened, I will just edit my post and be on my way then. *whistles*

[Christine]

LOL, it's ok, but the SGL apps all work the same way. She wasn't just chosen because she was all that was left. She was chosen because she would be the best at the jobs, and she filled in the jobs from there. For lower staff jobs (AKA Social Group staff other than the SGL), it is up to the SGL on how they are chosen.

[RandA lThor]

I didn't say that it was all they had left, I said it because she already had a lot of responsibilities and would be great for the job, but no one has signed up yet?

[Christine]

LOL, well, regardless of who was doing the responsibilities and such, the new leader is always chosen by the Admin team.

[Haxorsist]

That's not how it's done at SG. The BA Head becomes the new OL. This topic is to alert us that we're soon going to have to look for a new BA Head.

[cosmicpanda]

Yeah. You thinking of going for it, Hax?

[Moon Sedai]

That's not how it's done at SG. The BA Head becomes the new OL. This topic is to alert us that we're soon going to have to look for a new BA Head.

True.

[Christine]

That's not how it's done at SG. The BA Head becomes the new OL. This topic is to alert us that we're soon going to have to look for a new BA Head.

 

 

*falls over laughing*

 

 

I'm pretty sure that all BA go on to being Admins as well, right?

[Naeann]

Well no. But the last like 4 Shayol Ghul heads have come from the Black Ajah. Me, Pandy, Far, and I can't remember the one before Far off the top of my head... she was the leader when I joined Shayol Ghul.

 

Far has been admin but not the rest of us. I wouldn't want that position.

[Naeann]

Although going along with that theory and all.... Lily becoming SGL would be a fine addition to the winning streak the BA has. ;)

[LilyElizabeth]

Thanks, Nae. *stabs*

[Verbal32]

Any stragglers - get those apps in. Today is the deadine, but as it is Friday....I'll start consolidating and scheduling interviews on Monday.

[Nynaeve]

I believe the one before FDM was Ubel. But before that it was Noggy and he was SS. Maybe the streak will finally be broken :P

 

 

 

Nyn

[Nynaeve]

Yeah. You thinking of going for it, Hax?

 

Seriously? If Hax got the job all we'd do is leisure around with leopord printed robes,drinking scotch and...

 

Hax, you should apply.

 

 

 

Nyn

[Nynaeve]

This is the only way you manage to find dates, isn't it?

 

 

 

Nyn

[Haxorsist]

The last time I had any responsibility the group got shut down.

[Christine]

*takes everything out of Hax's hands*

 

*picks up a white jacket*

 

Come here, Hax. Put your arms into these sleeves. Don't worry, I'm taking you somewhere safe...

[Nynaeve]

She lies. I can tell. It's her scent. It reeks of deceit and cookie dough.
