- (This is a generic email answer that I send to users who request
- information about becoming an Op at Aggieland Relay. I would,
- of course, edit it appropriately for the circumstances at the
- time. I try to treat it as any other job being filled and
- require an email resume, a virtual or in-person interview, and
- check references from other users and Ops as appropriate.)

- ----------------------------------------------------
- Info about becoming a RelayOp..... Some of the qualifications
- for a RelayOp are: patience (lots of it), maturity, sense of
- responsibility, not easily angered, knowledge of Relay operations
- and guidelines and knowledge of BITNET/CREN (these can be learned of
- course), a liking for people and tolerance of people differences,
- ability to be firm but fair and objective, etc. A good sense of
- humor is helpful too sometimes! :-)
-
- A relayOp is responsible for assisting users with problems,
- answering questions, enforcing the rules when needed, monitoring
- Relay's operations and keeping it running efficiently, etc.
-
- The best way to become a RelayOp is to get to know the other Ops well
- and especially your MasterOp so they can observe what kind of user and
- person you are and how well you deal with other people. You should
- also send an informal resume or e-mail to your MasterOp in order
- to have it on file. Some things to include would be: why you
- want to become a RelayOp, why you think you would be a good
- RelayOp, your current status (classification, major, student
- worker, staff member, etc.), education background, work experience,
- and a list of references (Relay users and Ops), etc.
-
- For Aggieland Relay, it must be the primary Relay for the
- user's node (or in exceptional cases, the secondary Relay service
- area for that node). If so, then the user can send me the above
- information so I can keep it on file for future reference should
- a vacancy occur at our Relay.
