Sunshine is in the fortunate position of having many applicants. Due to the volume of interest we receive, we are unfortunately unable to interview every candidate. While we don’t select every applicant to interview, we do review every resume and will contact you if we feel there is a possible fit.
If an applicant is qualified for more than one position, he or she may apply for those jobs when appropriate. It is in your best interest to apply for specific positions that are a good fit for your background and skills, rather than every position that seems interesting to you.
We list nearly all of our open professional opportunities on our website and they are only removed when a position has been filled. If a position is listed, it is open. However, this does not indicate how far we may be in the search process. We are always looking for talented candidates in all areas of expertise, especially community management. While community management positions are listed, we may not have an immediate opening, but we value meeting talented people who potentially could be part of the Sunshine team in the near future.
Our postings reflect what we are looking for in our ideal candidate. It is unlikely that we will find someone with 100% of what we are ideally seeking. However, we want to get as close as possible. If you see a listing of 10 requirements and you only meet 2, it would be to your advantage to keep looking for jobs that are more in line with your skills.
