We're hiring again

Check border color. Not red, right? Thus, not fake news. With Michael fairly settled in as news editor, it's time to hire another file archiver. The position of file archiver does not really need an introduction. They handle the files in our archives - adding, updating, moving, screenshotting, anything. Again, the main thing required here is time. At the moment, there are over a thousand files in pending. That certainly is not the normal situation, though. On a regular day, we get in average 12-13 files. On a busy day, we get 50. 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, though - just having some general experience. And just like last time - 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're interested, contact us at newstaff@ticalc.org. Please include the following information: - Full name
- Email address
- If you have MSN or AIM or similar as means for us to contact you
- 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
- Which calculators you have experience with or access to
- A quick motivation on why we should pick you
Also, from experience of last time: This is not a paid job. Due to the huge interest in this, we have shortened the time for applications. We will now accept applications up to and including Feb 9th.

Funny that this article was posted!
I applied about a week before it was posted!
Hopefully they consider me because, well, I have
a lot of time. I am in school now, but i have 5 computer classes and I go on often at home.

Maybe we could have a more beaurocratic system (not bad beaurocracy:
We could have Ministers of News (MV) and Ministers of other departments such as Foreign Relations, 83 Archives, 85/86 ARchives, etc.
Applications should be taken for each position and then TICalc.org staff could narrow the list to two candidates best suited and allow a democratic vote of the TICalc.org registered users.
We could confirm one position per week until every position is filled.

So, when might we start hearing about who was chosen (or when we would be interviewed)?

Hmm.... I would go for it, since I own 6 TI Calcs, I'm pretty much old enough, I have expreience, and I love calculators, but:
- It doesn't pay
- I missed the deadline
