Maybe I’m a little ignorant because the only things I’ve volunteered for was stuff in high school/with friends because I was asked by an actual person I knew. But I came across a volunteer ad in my email for a local film festival, thought it sounded interesting and I’m a film buff
so I started to fill out the application but after looking into it more I realized there were no dates listed in the email or on the application and discovered the festival is only two times a year, in April, which has obviously already happened, and then not until October.
I guess it’s possible they need to figure things out ahead of time and the festival is completely legitimate and some fairly well known actors have attended so they probably have a lot of people apply for the volunteer position but this is still pretty misleading because the email was sent just a couple days ago and it reminds of when companies post ghost jobs.
