ticalc.org is hiring
Posted by Magnus on 8 December 2002, 14:45 GMT
Ok, so we're hiring. The post we are currently after is primary news editor. This means that you will be actively "hunting" for news to post on our site, both from outside sources and from our file archive. Secondary work expected if you have the time include surveys and maintaining static content on our site (it should not be quite as static as it currently is). So, what's required of you? Mainly time. Doing news can take a lot of time - talking to a lot of people, reading a lot of sites... Naturally, a decent familiarity with "the TI scene" as it is today is also required, so you'd know how and where to find things to post. As for special skills, none are really required. You will need to be reasonably fluent in the written English language. While we happily accept staff members from outside the US (see our current staff listing for proof of this), English is the only language used on our site. Sounds interesting? Let us know at newstaff@ticalc.org. Please include the following information: - Full name
- Email address
- Age
- Current level of education (finished or unfinished)
- Where you live (town/state/country)
- Approximate amount of time you think you can put into this per week
- Quick summary of relevant experience
- A quick motivation on why we should pick you
- If you have MSN or AIM or similar as means for us to contact you
We will accept applications until Dec 22nd.
Also, please note that we are looking for a long-term commitment. If you think you only have time or want to do this for a couple of months, we are currently not interested. Update (22/12): Ok, no more applications. There were a lot though, so it'll take us a while to get through them all. Thanks to all those who sent in applications. We may not be able to respond to each of you in person unless further questions are required.

Would you guys add a board while you are at it. 900+ reply to a news is kind of hard to sory through for info. Thx

I've got an idea. Let's all turn over a new leaf (new leaves?) and not post a bunch of off-topic messages in this thread. I know that this message will probably be responded to with posts saying things like "I agree" or "yes!"... that sort of defeats the purpose. And I know that, having said that, some of you will decide to be cute and post those things simply because I mentioned them. Don't. It's annoying.
I can't say for sure, but my guess is that they disallowed posting on the older threads because they were getting out of hand. Reading through the last one, I noticed at least 400 of the 743 posts were off-topic. That's ridiculous. I know I've posted off-topic myself, but no more. This will be my last off-topic post: a plea to all of you to help raise the standards of the TICalc.org news boards once again.

Hmmm, seems interesting. I'll have to look more into the long term commitment but I am pretty sure that I can supply the requested information fairly acceptably. If you like, contact SoftTecOrg via their website and I do believe that they will be able to help you out (besides me). You know what? I should be sending this to ticalc.org instead. Oh well. Just forewarning you applicants :)
