The position is an "admin" position, which means my name is now red on the forums, and I have to work closely with the other admin, including the website owner, to help Conquer Club improve and grow moving forward.
My specific job responsibilities include the following:
- Conduct moderator team meetings
- Train new moderators
- Develop new policies as needed
- Organize and implement various site projects
- Manage forum permissions and forum settings
- Support site moderators in their work
- Perform quality checks on moderation team
Also along those lines is that the job is online, which means it is far closer to my career of choice than sitting in a department office on campus answering the phone each day. I don't do any web development with this position, but there is potential for it down the road, and it is the type of job that helps build a lot of contacts for things in the future. Who knows, if the site continues to grow perhaps it could turn into a career all of its own.
Holly just shook her head when she found out I had gotten the job because way back when I first started playing games on CC I told her something along the lines of, "If I ever get the chance to work for this place and actually get paid I'm going to take the job without even asking you first, even if it means we have to move to Canada." She laughed then, but now she enjoys the fact that I can work my shifts from home and help out with Jack if she needs me to out of the blue.
I'm thrilled, and I don't know how many people can truly appreciate that, but I'm thrilled nonetheless.
