Application for Employment with Clean Vibes 2012

New PAID CREW Applicants

This application is for individuals who have volunteered with Clean Vibes but not held an official paid crew position OR those who have never been involved with Clean Vibes in any way but would like to apply for a paid crew position. Even if you were a volunteer that was hired on for pay for a few days following a festival, this is still the application for you!

All applications must be received no later than March 31, 2012. We will notify all applicants of our decisions by April 20, 2012.

This application is for a PAID CREW POSITION with Clean Vibes. Use this application if you would like to apply for a PAID CREW position and you are new to Clean Vibes all together or if you have volunteered with Clean Vibes in the past but have never been an official employee. If you would only like to volunteer, please complete the Volunteer Application HERE.(Please be advised that this link will direct you away from this paid crew application.)

All applicants may use the Clean Vibes Volunteer Database to register as a Volunteer for any available event. If you are hired for that event, we will remove you from the volunteer list and refund any deposits and/or adminstrative fees you may have submitted. Please read the confirmation email you will receive after completing this application, it will contain the link to create or update your profile in the database.

Please note: Due to the online nature of this application, we recommend that you write your answers to the narrative section in a separate document and then cut and paste them into this form. We are very appreciative of the time and thought that goes into the answers on these applications. Writing out your answers and saving them in a separate document will ensure that your hard work will not be lost in the event that your computer loses its internet connection mid application or there is an error in the transmission of the application.

* How do you think your participation as an employee would benefit the Clean Vibes organization?

* Describe what the greatest reward would be for you as an employee of Clean Vibes.

* Describe what you think the greatest challenge would be for you as an employee of Clean Vibes.

*

Central to the mission of Clean Vibes are the concepts of environmental education and stewardship. How do you feel these concepts play a role in your life? Do you feel that your own beliefs and values would fit well within an organization that places a significant focus on these concepts?

*

As a member of a Clean Vibes crew, employees will be working long hours for consecutive days, often under a great amount of pressure and stress. Key to the success of an efficient and content crew is the ability of each member to communicate openly and effectively within the crew. Please discuss how you would help to keep the lines of communication open between all members of the crew and how you would help to alleviate the stress and tension that can sometimes arise between crew members. Also note any previous experiences you have had with either group dynamics or similar work environments that you feel have taught you how do work effectively in groups under adverse conditions.

Robert Hunter’s words “One man gathers what another man spills” relate closely to the work and beliefs of Clean Vibes (with the exception of his lack of gender neutrality). Beyond the gathering work that we do, however, is the larger goal of reducing that which is spilled while at the same time increasing participation in the gathering process. How do you feel we can decrease the waste produced at festivals and increase the participation by festival attendees in the waste management process?

Please add any additional information that you feel we should know about you.
