Just simple technical question. In the application form there is one tricky question:
"Are you legally authorized to work in the United States" I guess vast majority of potential candidates are not legally authorized to work in US as they are citizens of countries which need a special work-permit to be legally employed in US. Does it mean they cannot apply for this position or that WMF is able to organize a work-permit for such persons? 2017-01-30 20:01 GMT+01:00 Maggie Dennis <mden...@wikimedia.org>: > Hello, all. :) > > As you know, we are launching a movement strategy process and want people > from the community integrally involved at every stage.
