This website is growing by leaps and bounds and I’m starting to find it difficult to manage all these forum areas by myself. To ensure that the quality on this board does not wane as Beat The GMAT! continues to scale, I will need the help of a few good folks to serve as moderators.
I’m looking for moderators for the GMAT Math and GMAT Verbal & Essays areas. As a moderator, you would be responsible for the following:
- Serving as a leader for your forum area. While it’s not a requirement that you have GMAT subject-matter expertise (though that would be nice), you would be responsible for making sure people are actively participating in discussion and that no relevant questions are being left unanswered. As a moderator, I would expect that you would actively participate in the discussions yourself and contribute lots of meaningful posts.
- Maintaining the integrity of your forum area. This role involves deleting spam posts and reporting spammers to me; moving posts in the wrong forum area to the right forum area; making sure that user discussions are respectful and promote learning/sharing/helping.
- Participating in the distribution of scholarships (optional). You would be responsible for reading through scholarship essays and applications, and would help me decide the winners of the monthly and yearly scholarship awards.
I don’t require any specific time commitment—you can serve as a moderator for as long or as little as you desire (though I hope you would be actively contributing to the forum while in this role). This is a fantastic opportunity to participate in a unique community service project—you could potentially be helping thousands of people! Plus, MBA admissions folks will love to see this kind of activity on your resume...
Thanks for helping me build a great GMAT community!
