How does a person in a given job category move to a different job category at Free Geek?
This could be referred to as "advancement". How does a person advance their career at Free Geek?
Main job categories
The four main type of job categories are:
- Non-profit Apprentices
- We advertise these as not being a path towards positions in the Free Geek Staff Collective. These positions are hired though an open hiring process, though in the past we've adjusted how widely we advertise the job depending on the pool of volunteer that are likely to apply and the needs of the organization.
- Nothers
- These folks have typically come from core volunteers that showed promise, apprentices that have finished their terms, and past employees of all types that are back in town visiting. They have typically been hired in an internal hiring process.
- Committeds
- These are currently all workers that have been apprentices or collective members in the past, often after resigning or becoming a Nother. They have typically been hired an internal hiring process.
- Collective Members
- This is the core group of staff. In the past collective members have come from the apprentice category, though that's the exception to the rule. Most collective members went through an open hiring process.

Definitions
- job category
- The above bubbles refer to job categories which are not specific to job descriptions. Each job category has a different (but overlapping) set of professional expectations commensurate with that category.
- job descriptions
- Job descriptions spell out the general and specific duties of a job. They are distinct from job categories.
Dormant/Nonexistent job categories
- substitutes
- Substitute are on-call-only workers. Most people that fill substitute shifts at Free Geek are currently pulled from other job categories (usually nothers or apprentices looking for more hours). There are no actual substitutes on Free Geek's payroll at this time. We may want to consider abolishing this job category.
- exploratory positions
- We have defined short term job descriptions in this category in the past. At the end of an evaluation period, the exploratory worker would suggest if a new job description and category was needed or not. We've had exploratory positions turn in to collective positions and apprentices in the past. We've had exploratory worker recommend that no new position be created. There are no actual exploratory workers on Free Geek's payroll at this time.
- workers on commission
- We approved the hiring a worker on commission for an online sales job. Loosely speaking we've had similar types of jobs in the past, but there are no actual commissioned workers on Free Geek's payroll at this time.
