Over at JobStreet, Yahoo posted a Job Opening for a Community Manager. Check out some of the responsibilities:

Online Community Management

You will lead the on-going management of our online communities. You will drive the engagement and growth of community-based services like Yahoo! Answers, Flickr and Yahoo! Groups. You will encourage our users to build relationships with each other and to share their knowledge, photos, videos and passions in a meaningful and responsible way. You will do this by communicating with the community through product blogs, message boards, emails and instant messaging.

Offline Community Management

You will engage our community face-to-face via meet-ups, road shows, workshops, seminars and other public events. You will be the face of Yahoo! and an evangelist of our products, teaching users how to maximize their online experience with our products.

If I read this right, an extreme extrovert would fit right in. In my mind, this will be very much Aileen’s counterpart. If this will be establishing online communities, I think she/he should definitely be a blogger.

Actually, in my personal opinion and experience as a Community Manager myself, a good “swaying-balance” between introvert and extrovert is the best choice.

For one to be a good CM, one have to be an introvert. To express that, one have to be an extrovert. - JC Cuneta.

Ey JC!

How are you doing? :)

Glad to see you guys stumbling into each other online.
