Turned down again

[Coronach]

Having been rejected three times it seems that DMOZ really don't want my help.

I applied for the three towns around me (live near Great Missenden), they form a triangle around me and each time I listed associated websites, I am a webdesigner so I didn't list every one I designed, yet did include my own websites and details of my work which made it very clear. I was rejected first because a site I had chosen for the category had no postal address, okay I am good with that. The second time because the category was too big for a rookie, yes that's fair enough. Finally, because my nearest town kept changing, but there are many towns around me, Aylesbury, Amersham, High Wycombe and Chesham, I live in a rural area. Secondly my list of sites changed, I am a local webdesigner I made that clear from the outset and felt that being an editor would put something back. Talk about jumping through hoops!

Did you tell those things on the applications? Why not?

An application to become an editor is the same as applying to any other job.

Tell who you are, why you want the job and why you are the person that should be hired.

On each job application you should be complete and honest.

Not being complete might give the impression that you are not honest.

 

About affiliation the form states

Sites with which you are associated:Please give details, including URLs, of any sites that you own or have designed or promoted, either in full or in part. Also, mention whether you have contributed content to any site, and give URLs as appropriate.

We clearly ask to provide ALL sites you are associated with

Note that the extra reviewer comments are often in addition or to complement the list of likely problems highlighted in the form letter.

Many editors had to apply more than once, me included ^_^
