    My job didn’t even require a video interview, this unpaid role has more strict requirements than half the jobs in the US haha.

      Yep I wish them well but it’s a bit much for a volunteer position

      My guess is it’s because it’s a similar role to a Reddit Admin, which is to say they’re basically a global moderator. Also, having access of any kind to the site’s SQL server requires an element of trust. That’s probably why they require the video interview.

        Folks that would be brought in would be part of the admin staff and have access to quite a lot. You’re on target with that for sure!

      It’s an IT job for a role with big responsibility. Unpaid or not, the role is the role. Fulling up the shelves in a grocery store comes with a bit less responsibility.

        My job is also an IT job with big responsibility. Not sure where you got filling grocery store shelves from.

          People who complain aren’t the applicants you would have wanted anyway.

      Yes, but for your job you’ve given to your employer your ID and your home address. If you mess something up they know ehere to get you. These guys can’t get these warranties and they need to know you better.

        What stops you from lying during a video interview? It’s not like they have some crazy virtual lie detector.

          Nothing, it’s just an extra check.
