ticalc.org Hiring Again
Posted by Michael on 5 September 2008, 20:47 GMT
We need new staff members to handle our file archiving. You could be one of the people we're looking for.
The main thing required here is time. We get many files submitted every day, and it is important that they be processed as quickly as possible.
Experience with multiple calculators is a big advantage; we try not to put a preference on any calculator model or platform. Owning a lot of calculators is not required, but having some general experience is a plus.
We're looking for a long term commitment, as well as a high availability. You all know what our users think when there are weeks without updates. If you can work 8 hours a day now, but expect not to be able to keep that up for more than a couple of months, this is not what we want. Expect it to be quite time-consuming, but certainly rewarding. Once you're familiar with our system, file archiving usually takes an average of 5 minutes per file. We get about 30 to 80 files submitted per week, depending on the season.
Finally, if you can increase the staff's demographical diversity, that's a plus, but not a requirement. We encourage people, both male and female, from all countries to apply.
If you're interested, contact us at newstaff@ticalc.org. Please include the following information:
- Full name
- Email address
- Preferred IM screen name and protocol (AIM, MSN, etc.)
- Age
- Current level of education (finished or unfinished)
- Where you live (town/state/country)
- Approximate amount of time you think you can contribute per week
- Which calculators you have experience with or access to
- A quick explanation of why we should pick you
Also, based our previous experience, it's worth mentioning that this is not a paid job.
Applications are due on Friday, September 19, 2008.
