revamp the mega staff hiring

Posted July 9, 2013 by Xhin

If you want a shot at being on the staff of the site, this is your chance. I will *personally* sort through these applications by Monday, July 15th. Don't worry about your past record or posting style; my goal with this is to get everyone who wants to be a part of the site on staff in some capacity, according to what they're actually good at doing.

You guys will be the forefront of the new site, the old GT regs leading and empowering the newcomers, just as it should be.

This list of positions may seem long and confusing, but these roles have been carefully selected to make sure that people who do things around the site get recognized and are given tools and a community to make their work easier.

Staff members in any capacity will also earn Experience in GTX0's levelling system, and once the site becomes profitable, the best staff member in each position will get a portion of the site's revenue for as long as they stay at their excellence.

As usual, in order to become a Staff Member, you must register an account if you don't have one already. I'll make sure the admins approve new accounts speedily.

Apply for as many as you want. If you don't get something, don't fret; there will be games forums added that need positions soon and mod hirings will happen once every month after the revamp launches.

Reg Positions

1. Writer -- Writes unique content for the site which is then advertised heavily to new readers.

2. Recruiter -- Recruits people to the site; also does work that helps create new recruitment strategies. (NOTE: The more people who apply for this position the better. It will be the most essential role on the site after the Revamp launches).
http://168.144.87.33/~alestan/user/newapps.php?type=16
3. Recruitment Director -- Develops Recruitment Strategies and approves ones generated by other Staff members.

    If it says something like "list forums you want to apply for with this role here", then put the name of as many forums as you want to be included in the app.

    Admin Positions

    (Normally, Admin positions can be filled only by staff members who have been on staff for at least (6) months, however I'm making one exception for this hiring).

    1. Crisis Resolver -- Takes official action on issues, confronts responsible parties in present or potential issues, and overall maintains staff discipline

    Conclusion

    I'm going to make a couple of forum-specific posts for things I'm looking for specifically, but I want to hire a lot of people in general.

    Note that no assignments will actually happen until after the Revamp, which I'm aiming to finish sometime this summer. Right before the revamp launches, I'll get with you guys and double-check to make sure everyone's assigned where they should be. There might be another hiring as well if necessary.

    Xhin forgot to mention this, but a new section for applying for staff positions has been added to the User CP(the icon in the header that looks like a melting CD). Applications can also be found there.

    Blazer, if you have an account you can log in via the icon immediately to the right of the header logo that looks like some sort of spinning motion. It's next to the registration icon.

    This

    or the smiley face up top

    and you can register with the pic next to the smiley face. Terrible system I know, but the revamp will fix things.

    You got that backwards, Xhin. The smiley face is registration and the spinny icon is log-in. I just logged out and in to check.

    There actually is, but I didn't include it because I wasn't sure how many apps we'd actually get. Give me a link to your work and if I like it, I'll hire you on in that role.

    Aesthetic Overseer is more of a manager than an actual artist. They definitely need artistic skills, but don't have to have graphic design skills.
