Documentation Team Application

See sample introductory video.

To apply:

  • View the GVCS TED Talk
  • See the announcement
  • Create a 2 minute video introduction regarding your interest in applying. This is a video-of-interest (VOI) and it must include: (1), name and country where you are located; (2), relevant skill set and how you can use it to move OSE work forward; (3) what you think will be the greatest challenge in your work; (4), and how you will address that challenge.
  • Upload your video to a video sharing site such as your YouTube channel or any other publicly-visible solution. Make sure that the video is open for viewing by the general public.
  • Upload your resume to a publicly downloadable file sharing site, as you will be asked for a link in your Product Application.
  • Go to the Product Application. This application will ask you for a link to your uploaded video and resume, so make sure that you have done the last 2 steps prior to filling out an application.
  • Upon receiving your VOI, we will review it. The VOI is an initial screening of candidates, after which we will set up your initial 15 minute interview. A second, 30 minute interview with the Founder follows the first interview. If you pass this stage, you will be invited to further negotiation, culminating in a collaboratively-written contract agreement.

Nota bene: Please keep in mind that everything is just talk and negotiation only - until a copy of your contract is printed and signed by both parties. The whole recruiting process up to the signing of a contractshould take a total of about 4-8 hours of direct communications between OSE and the applicant, over a general period of 2-4 weeks. This time will depend on a case-by-case basis, and may be significantly different than 2-4 weeks.
