Section Editor Required: Downloads Forum

[admin]

As part of the changes for 2008 that we outlined in December, we are adding an editorial layer to the community. While we hunt for the perfect Editorial Director, we wanted to offer up an editorial-type position to Overclock.net members.

Downloads Editor
The Downloads Editor is responsible for ensuring Overclock.net provides visitors with access to all of the files an Overclocker would need/want .

The day to day duties of the Downloads Editor would entail:

• Assessing what files need to be added/updated
• Contacting publishers to obtain permission to host files on Overclock.net properties
• Securing files, checking for viruses etc., uploading to Overclock.net

On a monthly basis, the Downloads Editor is expected to feature a specific download by crafting a write-up with images that will be highlighted within the community.

Payment
While the job does not pay in a monetary sense, the Downloads Editor will have a very important role within the community. The Section Editor badge will be placed in your postbit for as long as you live up to the title.

Expectations

• Excellent technical background with regards to both hardware and software
• A proven trackrecord as it pertains to consistant, broad and deep exploration of both established and new software offerings
• Excellent communication skills
• A professional approach
• An active participant within the community 5+ days a week
• An addiction to going above and beyond to call of duty

Next Steps

• So you have what it takes and want to apply? Now it's your turn to sell yourself. Be sure to provide examples of why you would be the perfect selection for the position.
• Please submit a "cover letter" style of application in the Overclock.net Ticket System - using the category in the drop down of "Job Application". Make sure to click the "private" box in order to restrict viewing access to Admins/GMs.
• Submissions will be reviewed over the next few days. The editor may be announced at any time.
• If you submit your name but are not selected, thank you very much for your time. This is one of many positions that will be offered up. Keep your eyes open!

EDIT:::

We would like to announce that mega_option101 has been selected as the Downloads Section Editor. His application for the position was actionable and insightful.

We will get the position fully setup within the next week - hopefully much sooner than that.

To everyone who applied - thank you! Your applications were great. There are many other opportunities that will be offered up over the next few months. Stay tuned.

Thanks

Thanks admin

This is good stuff. We've needed a place to house important tools here for a while. Whoever gets this responsibility could do a lot with it.

Great idea. I hope this helps remove some of the workload the admins here have.

It will definitely do that, and this (and similar positions that will be posted in the future) will give more members an opportunity to take on a larger role in the site.
