Updates

This is a general update of announcements for the General category.

Hi all,
It’s time for a TFL Volunteer Staffer Drive :) If you are interested in becoming part of TFL’s category staff team, then please fill out the staff volunteer form located at http://www.thefanlistings.org/vol_catstaff.php

Currently, we need volunteers who are willing to staff the Troubles position. Although Applications and F/U/C sound more glamerous, we definitely do need Troubles staffers. For larger categories, Troubles involves more time than the other two positions since it requires keeping in touch with Trouble Checkers, replying to fanlisting owners, and double-checking fanlistings. However, without Troubles staffers, fanlistings would never go on troubles and would never be removed from the network. Troubles staffers are very important to the functioning of TFL, but we always seem to be in short supply of them. You can read about what the troubles staffer is required to do on the job descriptions page.

Also, we need volunteers who are willing to staff “less popular” categories like Songs: Male Solo, Songs: Various, Songs: Bands/Groups. You can list as many categories as you’d like in your form. If you are open to taking any category, please say “any category” in your form. Please keep in mind that we already have plenty of applicants for popular categories like Movies, Actors, Actresses, Characters, TV Shows, etc. Although you can of course list them as categories you’re interested in, please remember that it’s very unlikely you’ll be asked to take on those categories as an Applications or F/U/C staffer.

If you have sent in an application before, we still have your application on file. If you need to update your old application, please e-mail me at jackie@thefanlistings.org, and I will send you a copy of what we have in the database so you can make changes (including adding categories etc).

So, if you’re interested in joining the category staff, please consider filling out the volunteer form at http://www.thefanlistings.org/vol_catstaff.php Feel free to list as many categories or positions as you are interested in staffing but the positions above are what we are after ;)
