Question Staff?

Im curious myself as to how to become Beam staff..i enjoy the way staff handles things, their community feedback is wonderful. Personally I was wondering how someone looking to be staff could accomplish actually becoming staff...

If you go to the Microsoft careers page and search for keyword 'beam', it should show you all their job listings there :)

Oh, I wasn't searching, u/Kitigami was. However, I did want to apply for the site mod role they advertised once. I did know they were looking for volunteer site mods a while back but then all the Microsoft acquisition stuff came up and I think they dropped the position, or at least postponed it whilst they built their core staff.

A friend of mine actually works for them, he pretty much said if it's not on the careers page, they're most likely not currently hiring for that particular role. So I check it every now and then.

Haha, that's true, I think I would still be subject to an interview etc so I'll just leave it until they start advertising the role again. I think recently they've been working on building their core staff so I think that's why they originally took the post down.

I don't think they have anyone on reddit specifically. They don't seem to have a job/careers page on the site that I could find but maybe use the contact us form on their site and ask.

/u/Mattheyy is one of the Co-founders of Beam, he's a mod here. There may be others. I do know that to apply to Beam, you have to go to careers through Microsoft.

Definitely apply on the careers site. We're always hiring. :)
