The ideal time slot will be around 1:00 &#8211; 5:00 PM eastern time (10:00 AM &#8211; 2:00 PM pacific time). These times may vary slightly.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cWeekends\u201d Position<\/h3>\n<p>For the&nbsp;\u201cWeekends\u201d position we need someone who can work mostly weekends, including Friday evening, starting with&nbsp;15+ hours per week.&nbsp;An example of time slots may be a 3-4 hours on Friday evening, 6-8&nbsp;hours on Saturday, 4-5 hours on Sunday.&nbsp;And&nbsp;maybe one other shift sometime during the week (flexible).<\/p>\n<h2>The Work<\/h2>\n<p>The primary goal of a Swappa Moderator is to help keep Swappa a safe and easy place to buy and sell mobile devices.
