Anney from Prospect rang me up to ask if I knew anyone who might fit the following role - which I assume is UK-based. I said no, but that I’d ask around:
“My client is a start up social enterprise that uses Web 2.0 and online social networking for a “pro-social” purpose. Through search and profiling the site will allow people to find mentors and be mentored. I’m looking for a Site Editor to undertake the day-to-day management of the site; to create, generate and drive the topics, content and tools that will inspire, motivate and build the community. For a full spec please email Anney@prospectmsl.com“

I’m curious: do you see trends towards more jobs that will focus on community building? In addition to the above description, what are people looking for in a qualified candidate? I’d imagine it must be nearly impossible to find a person who has equivalent experience — especially with completely online environments.
Me personally? Yes, definitely.
And you’re probably quite right: a lot of the people who might claim that qualification are probably faking it in some respects. Social networks are pretty new despite analogies with forums and so forth.
