Staff Openings
Zelda Dungeon has a large staff of talented people who create and maintain everything from detailed guides, Zelda-related news and announcements to videos and our forums. We have a good team. There are a few more staff we have on our wish list, however, and those positions are listed below. If you would like to work at Zelda Dungeon, but don't fill one of those roles, you can still send in an application and we will check it out.


Requirements/Responsibilities
-Each position has its own direct requirements which are listed in their job description below.
-All applications SHOULD be 16 years of age. We will take applications from people younger than 16, but these applicants must have significant writing experience and will need to provide multiple high quality samples to be considered.
-Time! You must be able to devote a couple hours a week for work on site projects. We want to members to the teams who are dedicated to the site and are willing to put in time.
-Proper grammar and spelling are necessary for anyone applying to write anything involving text.
-A microphone is not required, but highly recommended, as voice staff chats occur frequently.
-Must have Skype to communicate with the staff. Furthermore, must be able to use Skype quite often throughout the day. This could include just leaving it open on your computer so you can constantly communicate when are at the computer.



-Makes News and Blog posts on the front page of Zelda Dungeon.
-Helps coordinate news postings with other staff members on the news team.
-News posters usually take on an additional role at the website, helping in some capacity, as news posting is often times slow.
-Must be proactive and be able to make multiple posts each week.
News Correspondant
We are looking for people that can help post news on the index page of the website. This includes breaking news such as announcements from Nintendo and coverage of Nintendo related conferences. However, much of the time breaking news is slow, and the site relies on other types of posts on the index page. This includes blog-like articles on various discussion topics to encourage fan interaction. This also includes highlighting content and articles from various websites around the net and providing commentary on them at Zelda Dungeon. Additionally, news correspondants can post regular segments, such as featuring fan artwork, fan music pieces, countdowns, mailbags, etc...

Applicants interested in helping out as a news poster should be able to make multiple news posts a week. If you are interested in applying for this position, please include a sample piece of work. This should be a sample news post of similar quality that you already see at Zelda Dungeon. This could be in the form of a blog-like article, news piece from around the network, featured fan works, or anything that you'd normally see here at the website.
-Makes Zelda related news updates on our YouTube channel.
-Works closely with the rest of the staff to schedule updates.
-Willingness to use a video editing program (can be provided).
-Voice commentary is a must. A better microphone can be provided if necessary.
Zelda Video News
Makes video-blog style news updates, but keeps them short and entertaining. Searches the internet for Zelda related news and reports on things such as Nintendo news, things relating to new Zelda games, fan art, fan music videos, etc.
-Hands-on editing of Wiki pages.
-Requires basic knowledge on how to edit the Wiki.
Wiki Content Managers
We are looking for people who can server as managers of content sections at the Zelda Dungeon Wiki. This involves a lot of hands on editing of the Wiki, moderation over other users edits, and standardizing pages across the Wiki.

Applicants for this position, should already be frequent editors of the Zelda Dungeon Wiki. Any applications that we get in for this position, include your Zelda Wiki login name, so we can see your edit history.

We have tons and tons of projects behind the scenes at the Zelda Dungeon Wiki and we will be needing extra manpower to bring some of these big ideas to the Zelda Dungeon Wiki.

Please only apply for this position if you are already a frequent Zelda Dungeon Wiki editor.


You Will Need Skype
The staff of Zelda Dungeon use Skype, a free, third party instant messenger program that excels at voice communication, which we use to chat vocally and work on some projects as a team. If we wish to review your application further, you will need to download it so that we can schedule an interview.
We do not pay our staff
Zelda Dungeon is just a fan site and we cannot pay people to work here. Although it is just volunteer work, in some cases hardware and/or software can be provided to you to help increase productivity.

Content written for Zelda Dungeon belongs to the site
If you decide to leave Zelda Dungeon, you may keep anything that you've written, but it will also remain a part of Zelda Dungeon.

We want people who are committed
Zelda Dungeon has gone through several different staff members in the past. Please, only submit an application if you are absolutely dedicated to working for the site. We are only looking for the best here at Zelda Dungeon.



Still interested? =)
Fill out the form below and we'll look it over! It may take a week or two for us to get back to you, since we discuss the applications with the staff, so please be patient and await our reply. Also, please only submit an application if you truly are interested in joining us. You'd be surprised how much spam we get from people who think they're being funny...
