Call for Applicants – WCT Members (January 2024)

The WCA Communication Team (WCT) is seeking members to help with managing and creating WCA social media posts or graphic design for social media posts and other projects!

Applications are open to everyone and community members not currently holding a WCA position can apply.

What does the WCT do?

  • Answers daily enquiries to the WCA through emails and the contact page on the WCA website.
  • Manages official WCA social media platforms through frequent and engaging posts
  • Works with other WCA leaders to improve the WCA website and communications to the community

The official rights and duties of the WCT are documented in Motion 10.2021.1 – Communication Team.

Workflow Outline

  • We try to reply to all emails and DMs within a 24 hour period and having more members gives the WCT more opportunities to be reactive.
  • Social media posts are planned at least 2 days in advance and are posted when members are available.
  • Internal emails regarding other WCT projects are answered within 48 hours and other work may come from those projects that take various amounts of time.
  • Time commitment per week is between 2-5 hours.

Characteristics we are looking for

  • Social media knowledge: You should be familiar with many social media platforms and their basic functions. While you may not have used them personally, you will have to post to them as the WCA and should know what type of content goes on each.
  • Fluent English: Our posts on most social media platforms are in English and we answer most emails in English. We do, however, receive emails in many different languages and having people responding in the sender’s native language is always appreciated. For this, we do welcome those that are fluent in other languages alongside English.
  • Communication skills: You should be able to write a professional, concise email to answer competitor questions and to convey a thorough knowledge of the WCA resources for competitors. You will be responsible for writing social media posts that are appropriate and convey the mission of the WCA.
  • Patience: Always maintaining professionalism when answering the same question many times is hard, but necessary for our day-to-day communications. You should keep friendly communications within our email and social media interactions.

If you are applying as a Graphics Designer, then you should have experience working with Adobe Photoshop or any similar programs.

The application document must be in PDF format, and should include the following:

  • A brief personal introduction
  • Your involvement with the WCA
  • Your motivation for applying to the WCT
  • Your skills that are relevant to the WCT

Please send the application in PDF format to (sbehzaad@worldcubeassociation.org) from now until Wednesday, January 25th, 2024, 23:59 UTC to be considered.

Applicants can expect a reply to confirm the receipt of the application, and may later receive a request to be interviewed. If you have any questions related to the application process, then do not hesitate to reach out to Zain Ali (sbehzaad@worldcubeassociation.org)

Thank you for your interest in assisting the WCT and the WCA!
