This had high visibility because it was pinned to their server at time of writing. Please refrain from going to this comment just to vote brigade.

I had to edit the link because I hadn’t read the community rules properly.

I struggle to see why asking for a resume is not appropriate. If you are interested in joining, you should tell them what your skills and areas of experience are.

Any serious applicant would have one on file to send off. Now, if they asked for a cover letter and a five-step interview process, that’s different.

Yeah in full agreement with you. Additionally, with at least one opportunity to meet the LW admin team face to face (via video interview), it can give the applicant an idea of whether they would even want to give 5-10 hours of their time every week to LW for free.

If they’re desperate for volunteers, sure I could see taking anyone. If the level of interest is greater than the available positions then you’ve got to narrow down candidates somehow.

Wow this is so stupid.

I thought the Threadiverse would be better than Reddit, but this is even worse.

Forgive me for asking but why is asking for a résumé for a job position stupid? Or have I misunderstood? My apologies if so.

asking for a résumé for a job

It’s not a job.

Here we go, another one getting hive downvoted.

Personally, I would call it a volunteer position, not a job.

I think the issue is that it’s not actually a job as there is no pay involved.
