Opportunities for members
When paid or sought-after opportunities are organised by Castlemaine Press, members will be given the opportunity to express interest in those roles. The process is as follows:
- the opportunity will be promoted and Expressions of Interest called for via email to all members and the Castlemaine Press e-news
- Expressions of Interest will generally include a brief CV and an indication of how you would approach the role or project (maximum one page)
- Expressions of Interest will be assessed by a panel made up of 2 Committee Members and 2 General Members (each having the option to stand down and be replaced when they would like to express interest in an opportunity themselves)
- The Panel recommends selection to the Committee of Management, and the Committee decides.
