Introducing Staff Applications to Zathyus Support

For many years now, InvisionFree and ZetaBoards have been staffed by a team of hand-picked volunteers, excelling at customer service. Identifying members of our community who demonstrate good behavior and support giving talents has been our sole method of recruitment...until now!

Last year, we launched a new approach to hiring staff on our official resource board, allowing you to show us your interest in contributing to the Zathyus network, and becoming part of the resources staff team. We are pleased to introduce this method to the Support board as well.

As of today, you can now apply for a position on the Zathyus team. Positions in both our support and community teams are available.

I'm interested! How does it work?

Important: It's very easy to apply, but don't rush into anything. If you're genuinely interested in becoming part of our team, take some time to think about your application. There's no deadline to apply at the moment, nor is there a quota on how many applications we'll accept. Additionally, while we are flexible, we do have expectations that must be taken seriously.

You can post applications in the Personal Support Ticket section of this board. Simply posting a topic with answers to the following questions is all we require for the initial application:
