We're looking for passionate, hard-working members of the community to join our staff!
As members of the Wolfhome staff, we collaborate on many different topics, projects and other tasks. All perspectives are accepted and respected, and we strongly encourage every staff member to voice their opinions. It is essential to be familiar with our forum's navigation and usage as this is where we handle works in progress, deliberations, and reports.

Upon joining our team as an Apprentice, your main objective will be to successfully complete your training course within 3-4 weeks. You will receive a guide that explains how to become better familiar with our policies.

The content within your guide will include:
✧ The Administrator Handbook
✧ A Link to the Admin Training Discord
✧ Four Training Questions & the Official Training Scenarios Thread

As you work through your training period, you will be expected to:
✧ Sign the Administrator Code of Conduct
✧ Review the Administrator Handbook
✧ Keep up to date on current discussions within the administrative boards & share your perspective
✧ Use alternative accounts when mentors or administrators are offline, forwarding any reports you may receive
✧ Practice how to remove idle members from the chat using different methods

Rules To Apply

✧ Must be 18+
✧ Your partner/sibling cannot be on the team already
✧ You are not able to apply if you are under probation or have recently been released from a permanent ban
✧ Major infractions such as lying about age and falsifying information will result in rejection

Application Process

✧ Please send your application to Kiko via forum PM! If your application is not sent to an Alpha, you will be asked to redirect your PM appropriately. Please refrain from sending your application to Underdog.
✧ Your application will be posted to our Public Application thread for the community to read.
✧ Upon your application's approval, we will ask to schedule an interview with you where we will ask you various questions and get to know you a bit better! Please note that the Interview Stage does not guarantee a staff position.

Hello all!

It's that time of year again where we open Administration Applications! This round we are looking for 5-6 new additions to help with chat moderation between 12AM EST-5PM EST as well as some fresh minds to help continue and grow Wolfhome!

This round of applications we are introducing our Application Trackers! This is someone who will help you with any & all questions relating to the application process. This same person will guide and update you as your application moves through the various stages of review. To read more, check out our post here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=213539

Hello everyone! We have re-worked the application and training process for staff applicants!

We relied heavily on recent applicant feedback and realized that there was still a huge space for improvement. We were inspired by past staff members and the effort they put forth to make some lovely resources for both mentors and their apprentices. We wanted to take extra time to create more content like pre-made quizzes, screen-share prompts, as well as scenario correction prompts. We also updated visual diagrams that were created in the past so that they are less confusing and easier to understand.

We have already shared the introduction to the Application Trackers, which was inspired by Baetyl. With adding this role, we wanted to encourage our applicants to ask questions regarding the status of their application, general questions of "what to expect", as well as what comes next.

We have also minimized how much information is thrown at Apprentices upon receiving their welcome message once promoted to apprentice. We have aimed to lessen the overwhelming feeling and give them time to get settled in before official training starts. You will now be given in depth walk-throughs regarding how to format a correct write up, as well as given complete explanations on the added private forum boards regarding what each is for and what is typically posted & discussed within them. After being shown what is expected and how things are done, you will then be tested on your knowledge with mock scenarios that are commonly seen while on chat. If we take notice you are struggling, we have a variety of new resources to guide you to success.

Training will now be extended to 3 weeks with an additional 1 week, if needed. Whereas previously you were given 2 weeks for completion, with an additional 1 week if needed.

With all of that being said, Staff applications are now OPEN.

We are looking for 2-3 members to bring onto the team who are; determined, friendly, passionate, receptive, respectable and eager to learn. Those who are in a good mental place that can easily take constructive criticism while working within a close nit team! We are eager to bring new members onto our team who are wanting to help out with our current and new projects underway, and those who have a basic understanding for our forums including navigating through them! In addition, we are looking for individuals with availability to be actively on chat during evening hours.
