Shopkeeper Application

Assistant Shopkeeper: To be considered for an Assistant Shopkeeper position, you must be ranked at least an Apprentice and have a minimum of 10 - 14 hours a week available. Recent warnings from the Monitor may prohibit you from being an Assistant Shopkeeper

Shopkeeper: To be considered for a Shopkeeper position, you must be ranked at least a Librarian and have 14-21 hours available a week (although vacations will be allowed) :) Recent warnings from the Monitor may prohibit you from being a Shopkeeper. Preference will be given to those applicants with prior guild shop experience.

Assistant Shopkeeper: Selections are made for Assistant Shopkeepers by the Shopkeeper from a pool of Council approved applicants.

Shopkeeper: Selection of Shopkeepers will be made by the First Council and the Treasurer, who is Head of Second Council.

All applications will be reviewed by the council, and approved applications will be added to a "pool" of possible candidates. We will keep applications on file for six months. During that time, if a position opens and you are chosen to fill it, we will neomail you and check that you are still interested and available. Every three months, applications will be reviewed and may be removed from the file if the member is no longer actively participating in the guild, is no longer qualified, or is no longer interested. If chosen for a position, there will be a six-week trial period.

Members accepted for a guild job will become unavailable to accept a second job within 4 weeks.

The division of duties between Shopkeepers and Assistant Shopkeepers varies by shop. The amount of time required will also vary, depending on the type of shop and how busy it is.

Typical shop responsibilities include:

keeping up-to-date records of donations, requests, and inventory;
filling requests and sending thank-yous;
adding stock to the shop;
running periodic contests;
caring for the shop pets;
and filing monthly reports of shop activity.

Please make sure that you will be able to devote the time required to a position before accepting it!

In addition, it is critical that all members of guild administration be able to contact each other. Due to the unreliable nature of Neomail, all members of the guild administration will be required to provide email contact information on the shopkeeper's page (viewable by all members of admin staff only).

Currently Shopkeepers and Assistant Shopkeepers are being allowed a set number of �Free � requests from Guild Owned Shops as compensation. You will also receive a lot of appreciation and will get to know many of our great guild members better.
