Volunteer Opportunities

In order to better serve the community, Sanguinarius is looking for a number of people to help out in various volunteer positions. I am seeking dedicated and loyal help who will take their job seriously even though it's not-for-pay (and not get bored after a few weeks and wander off to do something else).

If you are interested in one of the openings, email Sanguinarius's "Vampire Resources Dept." with your qualifications and experience and the position you are applying for.

The positions Sanguinarius has open are:

Audio Reader

(Posted: Sept. 5, 2009)

Must speak English clearly and fluently and with no strong accent. Must be able to read out loud easily and conversationally and have a clear, strong voice. I will need to hear a sample of your voice while reading. You will be recording yourself reading selected articles into wav format, so you will need some sort of audio program such as Audacity (free), a good-quality microphone, and a quiet background when you are recording, and be able to do so without interruption.

Event Scouts

(Posted: Sept. 5, 2009)

I need somebody who is familiar with a lot of the sites and activities going on on and off the web, and who can scout around and find the information on interesting vampire-related happenings: ranging from weekly web chats to gatherings and events such as conventions. Must stay abreast of the events, find announcements & send them to me, and mark/schedule the events on the Vampiric Community Calendar. You may be required to write a detailed event description.

FAQs Editor

(Posted: Sept. 5, 2009)

Must have good communications and organization skills. Must also be knowledgeable of real vampires and vampirism. Should be down to earth and a fairly patient person.

You should be a regular guest in #Sanguinarius for at least 3 months, and be calm, knowledgeable, helpful, and levelheaded. You should be familiar with the phpBB message board system.
