Join Us And Change How People Build Communities

Richard Millington
Richard Millington

Founder of FeverBee

Let’s try this again, we’re hiring.

We’re looking for someone that wants to
change how people build communities.

The current approach is completely wrong.
It is too reactive, too focused on platforms, and too similar to marketing. As
a result, most communities fail.

Even those that succeed struggle to reach
their potential. By applying the principles of social science, we can change
this.

This is a message we want your help in
spreading

Community
Advocate
 

We’re hiring a community advocate.

We’re hiring someone that can build positive relationships with a range of
groups/organizations, help promote and advocate the use of social sciences in
communities, and take on and deliver projects to completion without fail.

We’re looking for someone that has a
passion for communities and a great track record for making things happen.

We’re looking for someone with a genuine
desire to help people build better communities.

We’re looking for someone that truly loves
connecting with their fellow community professionals and building positive
relationships.

You
should be…

 1) 100% reliable. This is a job for a doer.
You making things happen. You crush deadlines with time to spare. If you
struggle, panic, or withdraw when confronted by deadlines, this isn’t a good
fit. If get a charge from getting things done and making things happen, drop us
a line. Reliability is essential here.

2) A great communicator. You should be
happy introducing yourselves to individuals and groups, building strong
connections, selling your ideas. Strong self-confidence helps a lot here.

3) A community expert. It’s going to be
tough to do the job if you don’t know the material. It helps if you’ve read our
book, understand our principles, and developed communities of your own.

4) A terrific writer. You need to be able
to create material that helps people build better communities. If you can’t
write articulate ideas in a concise manner, this isn’t for you.

5) Eager to change the world. I know,
this sounds lame. This isn’t a spreadsheet role. This is about changing the
world. The world would be better if there were more successful online and
offline communities. People active in communities are happier, healthier, and
wealthier. This is work worth doing. This should drive you.

This is an intense role. It will involve
connecting with key people and organizations, producing regular material, attending
events, and achieving real, visible, results.
