A Wazeume (sometimes spelled Wazume) is a record of your volunteer activity with Waze, similar to a Resume for your professional career. A resume of your Waze activities is a good thing to keep updated. When it comes time for promotions it’s easy to show local leaders your editing and community contributions.
How to create a Wazeume
Wazeumes can be drafted anywhere and stored online or offline, but hosting a public version of your Wazeume in a sharable format like a public Google Doc can have several advantages. First, its easy to access your Wazeume and update it at any time, and from multiple devices. Additionally, you can include a link to your Wazeume in several locations that makes it easy for folks to access:
- Waze Discuss profile page
- Waze Discuss signature
- Email signature
- Discord server profile(s)
- AM applications
