No @Oaktree , no need for a resume.
What has happened in the past is that members are emailed an online form to complete. This will ask questions such as what you want to get out of being a Community Guide, what you can bring to the forums etc.
The team then collates the responses in a spreadsheet and go through a merit and equity process to pick the applications most suitable for the role.
Sometimes, members may not be 'ready' the first application, but we can then work with them to help them prepare for the next round of applications.
Whatever you are doing on the forums, just keep doing it. This can tell us you are 'ready'.
One thing to point out is that different members have different strengths. Some may be better at engaging new members, some may be to interact with existing members, some may prefer to respond only to certain MH conditions and stay away from other conditions. We take all this into consideration. Responding to difficult posts is also another one. Although we don't expect Community Guides to manage these posts, just seeing how one responds can really speak to someone's readiness.
It certainly is very exciting! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
