cb is hiring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Options

[micron]

im breaking rules right now, making duplicate topics is a no-no, don't follow my lead.

cb is hiring!

[*AngelicEyz00*]

I was wondering if this was open for everyone who qualifies; and by everyone I mean even some past moderators?

[lookitskim]

whats the qualifications?

I believed Micron provided a link in his post
CB hiring

Anyone who wants to be a staff, please make sure you read ALL the rules before you apply

Thank You!

[micron]

I was wondering if this was open for everyone who qualifies; and by everyone I mean even some past moderators?

yes ofcourse thye are, as long as they meet the prerequisites. however, we will be comparing them with the same set of standards as others who apply for the position.

[sunissed14127]

thats great!!! I just applied!!! I'm so excited!

[Chii]

as we speak i'm trying to raise my post count (not by spamming ), i doubt i can get it to 750 soon ...so how long are you running this?

[micron]

until we fill all the positions. don't feel rushed, therell always be a next time.

[*tweeak*]

hooray!

[*[2]Nekked*]

im sure they wont be able to find 7 blogger staff people very quickly.. so take your time with the posts

[*tweeak*]

im attempting to learn blogger...

[*krnxswat*]

Oh. Awesome.

[emmalie]

now , if we had all the requirements and our paragraphs arent so great what else do you take into consideration?...our xangas ..do you check our post?..just curious...( I already read the topic about cB hiring )

[*[2]Nekked*]

not everyone is a good writer. i would assume they would take a look at your posts on the forum, and at how much you've contributed to createblog. what position are you trying for?


edit://

yknow the title "cb is hiring guys!" makes it seem like you are ONLY hiring guys. rofl. sexist pigs.

[emmalie]

Possibly the xanga staff or people staff..I havent met the requirements just yet...somehting im working on ,my question was for future reference but thanks for answering :D.

[sammehmyst]

Sounds great.
Good luck if you apply. =)

[angel-roh]

Is there any deadlines for this?

[inthemudhole]

Is there any deadlines for this?

^ Yeah. I'm dying to know, as well. ><

[*jooleeah*]

Meh. I'm scared. There's a lot of competition for people staff.

[inthemudhole]

Meh. I'm scared. There's a lot of competition for people staff.

Same here.. :/
I was reading, and the applications are all really good. ><

[Spirited Away]

How do they get chosen? By mods voting or are Mr. Createblog and admins making the decisions?

[sunissed14127]

yes, I'm nervous...everyones applications were all great!!!

[*tweeak*]

i was trying to find the right balance of humility and egotism but i dont think it worked =/ i hate writing about myself. im so f**ked for apps

[*jooleeah*]

Same here.. :/
I was reading, and the applications are all really good. ><

yeah, i know! i was reading yours. i bet you'll get a position in people staff =]

i was trying to find the right balance of humility and egotism but i dont think it worked =/ i hate writing about myself. im so f**ked for apps

yeah, i thought i sounded a little bit conceited....

Um, question. how many positions are there for people staff?

[*tweeak*]

4 people
4 xanga
7 blogger

[inthemudhole]

yeah, i know! i was reading yours. i bet you'll get a position in people staff =]

Thanks

[sunissed14127]

yes, I think Brie's was great! =D mine was first so I didnt really have much of an example to go off of on what it was supposed to look like lol.

[xsweetxcandyx]

i should have join cb sooner so my post would be up!!.. but i'm like more that half way there

[jennyjenny]

Brie! Yours was really good =)

I don't know if I'm gonna become a people staff, though...it would be really cool if i was!

I tried to not sound like I was sucking up, but I don't think it worked =\

=( I hope I make it!! *crosses fingers!*

[xj_liana_tx]

i applied, i hope i get elected

[Saeglopur]

Isn't it coincidential how xanga is hiring and now createblog is hiring? I just found that funny.

[innovation]

yes, i definitely think that brie, uninspiredfae, sadolakced acid, and tweeak would make awesome staff.. people.

brie, because of her outgoing, welcoming personality.
uninspiredfae, because she's logical, reliable, responsible, and mature.
sadolakced acid, because well, haven't really seen him outside the debate forum, but hey, the kid's smart as anything. very rational.
and tweeak, because she's easygoing, tolerant, and friendly.
oh yes, and jeffrey, because he's just so freaking awesome. i mean, face it. everyone loves jeffrey. he gets along with everyone. COOLEST KID EVARR.

but hey, good luck, kids!
and wow, i never knew the blogger forum was that active.

[angel-roh]

But whose going to accept who should be a people staff, xanga staff, etc.????


if it's the people staff and the xanga staff lol.. i dont think they will vote for me haha. since some are against me hehe.

[Euphoria Rose]

until we fill all the positions. don't feel rushed, therell always be a next time.

How long is 'next time'?

I want to apply but I don't have 750 posts or more.

I think I'm gonna cry myself to sleep now.

Just joking.

[tooeffingcrazy]

That's awsome! I want to take the place of People Staff! =P

[*Azarel*]

I'd apply but I don't have enough posts per day. Maybe next time, eh?

[satisfied-tom]

what about people who want to operate the background of createblog? like approve skins, and make new layouts for cb and such... i would like to do that.

[tooeffingcrazy]

I'd apply but I don't have enough posts per day. Maybe next time, eh?

Try to post mad crazy right now, it might raise up to a 5. Haha!
Yeah, i kind of don't want to sound to concieted. ><

[*Azarel*]

Try to post mad crazy right now, it might raise up to a 5. Haha!

That's like. 500 posts that I need to bump it up. No. kthx.

[*salcha*]

when you say hiring, do you mean like for people staff/mods/design staff and stuff?

[*krnxswat*]

That would be Xanga Staff.

[*Azarel*]

That would be Xanga Staff.

.. he means actual createBlog layouts, like the revamp that happened in December I think that's only admin or Jusun. *shrug*

[*stephinika*]

hmm i think i might just have to go and apply later on once i type something up. (im not at home right now...)

[Nicolatofu]

I applied! I'd love to be part of the staff, but there's so many more great applicants out there! I wonder when is the next time he'll be hiring?

[sweetxsimplicity]

I want to be on the staff..

[dani41790]

Meh. I'm scared. There's a lot of competition for people staff.

me too! omg my little paragraph is nothing compared to the others. bleh i bet im gonna get rejected again

[tooeffingcrazy]

I want to be on the staff..

You are on the staff! Xanga staff! I hope i get it though =T Lots of tough compitition!

[DaTru KataLYST]

W.e. makes cB a better place will do for me. =]

[OhXiet_ItzDonnA]

wow, it seems very hard...or easy or whatever

[innovation]

perhaps some more CBers should contribute their opinions on who would or would not make good staff members. afterall, they are the ones who have been exposed to these members' behaviors and the ones who are going to moderated by them.

[DaTru KataLYST]

I'd strive for cB peace and help the cB poor.

Jaypayjaypay! =]

yea, maybe members want to express their feelings about who should apply or not.

[NatiMarie]

This is awesometabular.
:D
Can't wait to meet the new moderators.
;P

[*Podomaht*]

Me, Me, Me!

[innovation]

Me, Me, Me!

^ holy crap, podo. go into the chat! </spam>

er.. i should probably say something meaningful, as not to waste this post. uh.... anna rules!

[*jooleeah*]

I actually want Brie and Nicki to get the jobs as mods. They'd be excellent moderators
Edit// I forgot about the xanga staff. Sorry! Anyway, I think Trish should go back to be a xanga staff mod. I don't think i need to explain why.

[xTINAA]

that's awesome! i would love to apply but unfortunately my post count isn't quite up there yet. it's about 3.9. =(

[kris_fox17]

why aren't there any openings i for design staff, that's the only part of cb i go to!!!

[sweetdreamsx3]

:] I applied for the xanga staff.

[sweetxsimplicity]

I think we need more Blogger moderators.
Yeah, I think Brie would make a good staff member too, she posts a lot and joined the same time as me but she has like..double the number of posts I have. =x

[Just_Dream]

^ Brianna, it's not about whether the applicant has a poo-load of posts, or whether they joined a while ago and etc. It's the member's attitude and how they react in certain situations, as well as dedication, consistency (in posting and helping out), and most of all, their contributions. It doesn't matter whether or not they've submitted skins. Helping out, giving advice when needed/asked, or even just introducing themselves to the newbies... It all counts because what they've done has helped createBlog grow, for the better.

And I'm not saying that Brie (despise) isn't any of this. Actually, this whole post is dedicated to Brie because she has done all of what I've listed above, maybe even more. And I completely agree with you about Brie becoming a staff member--she would be a great addition to the staff.

EDIT: This post to show that it's quality, not quantity, that matters. So what if she has a huge quantity of posts! It's the quality of her posts that I've noticed.

And it isn't a popularity contest either...*sob*.

[freeflow]

yaa goood luck to all you that apply
hmm maybe ill apply someday in the future(:
next time there hiring
but mostly good luck to everyone

[tooeffingcrazy]

I think trish did a good job with the design staff. Anyways, yeah Brie would be a great modetor! I hope i get to be a People Staff. =T

[WhiteLotus*]

YAE! I have already applied! Good luck to everyone who also applied! :]

[inthemudhole]

Hey, that's a pretty good idea!

By the way, thank you to all who commented nice things about me. =)
I really do appreciate it.

[20:09:10 PM] perplexism: you guys, i think that more members should contribute their opinions
[20:09:31 PM] perplexism: like how the candidates have affected them personally
[20:09:44 PM] perplexism: if they've been especially warm and helpful.. or not so much
[20:09:48 PM] perplexism: so comment, people!

I'll post what I think about the apps without any bias towards my friends or the people I know.

People staff:
sunissed14127 - The application is extremely vague and mostly just states what he/she would do as mod. But honestly though, who wouldn't do those things? The application is not in least bit meaningful, and I wouldn't want someone who feels the need to prove that they'd be a good mod to be modded.

Jason61992 – See sunissed14127. Also, he seems to only state what kind of person he is and that he meets the qualifications. That's not saying much of anything.

XKali_chik_4_lifeX- See Jason61992.

tweeak - The app slightly states what she'd do as mod, but it also tells about her experiences before. I've seen her around, which I can't say for some of the people who've applied, and she's extremely friendly and I think she'd make a good mod. (<- run-on sentence. I am ashamed.)

LeSLiE - Same problem as first problem mentioned, but this application doesn't even look like the applicant put any thought into it at all.

KissMe2408 - See Jason61992.

Despise - Her app does tell a lot about what she would do, but just by seeing her presence around createBlog often enough and reading a lot of her posts, she's friendly and qualified to be on people staff. Also, just look at the length of the application; it's clear that Brie put a lot of effort into applying.

jooleeah - See sunissed14127.

sadolakced acid - Hey, at least it's an earnest application and different from the others. What he says about the interests forum is true, and it'd be nice if more than just kryogenix hanging around there.

sheepy - See Jason61992. Also, most of what is written (i.e. ".. I really think that I could make CreateBlog a more fun and enjoyable environment, if i had the power to.") can be applicable to just being a normal member, not a mod. After all, what member doesn't have the power to improve the createBlog environment?

Frankie_08 - I think she/he should choose one or the other; it's not fair for someone to apply under two different positions "just in case" one doesn't work out.

blowpops69 - Not even a serious application. Eh.

AzNxJenny91 - See Jason61992.

xj_liana_tx - Okay, not to bash or anything, but more than half of this app is made up. No, seriously. I will not elaborate because it will probably end up as member bashing.

mouse_3k - See Jason61992.

tooeffingcrazy - See sunissed14127.

lil boi - See Jason61992.

DaTru KataLYST - I like this app; it's probably the best I've read (for people staff) thus far. And I'm definitely not saying this because I talk to Jeff outside of cB, it's not even close to that. This application makes an effort to explain how ..the last bit sucks up though. Boo.

barelyy_coherent - I have to say, Gigi probably has the best application out of all of these (in my opinion; hah, i read this after Jeff's and I liked it better. :p). She tells how createBlog has affected her and why she wants to give back to cB, not just what she'd do. Simply said, it's eloquent and makes a resounding imprint.

dani41790 - I like how her app starts out, but then it digresses into what she'd do as mod and such. Mod duties get dull after the first time. \=

shawty_redd - It's really nothing special at all. See sunissed12127.

WhiteLotus* - The last paragraph is the most effective; first two are sort of filler (sunissed17127 & Jason61992).

Design staff:
[2]Nekked - After reading her application, I finally know her side of the story. I feel Trish definitely deserves to be part of design staff again since she's proven to never have truly left the position in the first place.

allthatglitterss - See sunissed14127.

Spiritedfreak - See Frankie_08 & Jason61992.

sweetdreamsx3 - See Jason61992. But the app does include some relevant information, such as wanting to learn more coding and reasoning behind the application.

*** Most of the applications I wouldn't even call apps. A lot of them are just paragraphs telling users that they meet the qualifications and that they would be a good mod. They don't explain why they want to be a mod or how they currently contribute and help createBlog. A lot of the people that applied I don't even see around cB that much (and I'm on cB a LOT)! I'm not saying it should be a popularity contest, but applicants should at least be around. (Lot of apps I got lazy on critiquing since they all had the same problems. -_-) God, that took a long time. Appreciate it!

I want to apply but I don't meet qualifications. Sigh. I'm such a stickler for the rules. \=
Ah, the things I do to put off AP Chemistry homework. lol.

[sweetxsimplicity]

I know that. Brie contributes a lot and she's really nice too. And yes, the quality of her posts are very..erm..high.

[Ryan]

ITS NOT WHAT CB CAN DO FOR YOU, ITS WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR CB

[whomps]

what about people who want to operate the background of createblog? like approve skins, and make new layouts for cb and such... i would like to do that.

We use to have Code Staff when Henry (Mystical) was around.

[gigiopolis]

Jeff, I am so gonna pwn you.

*hugs Anna harder*

LOL.

[crazeegirl411]

My PPD will never get to 5.0 at this rate I'm going. I'm not even official member...so I will just cheer on the candidates.

Uh...wait, I have to sleep. I will comment later.

[gelionie]

I originally wanted to apply, but I guess I don't really have that much time for CB. I'm not an official member either yet (because I can't maintain at least 5 posts per day).

So... I wish all the applicants good luck!

[Yemmerz]

School cuts the computer time...maybe towards the summer I'll apply if there's a spot open.

[*Weird addiction*]

im not qualified cos ive got a warning

[sunissed14127]

Sorry! I'm just not good at writing about myself. its just not easy for me to explain what I'm going to do, when i can show people. I'm bad at writing about myself....what can I say?

[*tweeak*]

thank you to all of you who said i would be good for the position, i appreciate it!

[*kryogenix*]

good luck to all potential apps.

[tooeffingcrazy]

That's xanga/blogger staff.

Actually, there is another staff that is called the Design Staff. x_angawhomps is one of them.

[sadolakced acid]

yea, i don't really stray from debate or technology much do i?

i've been reading all the applications, and they mostly look good; but they sound a bit like campaign speeches.

when people state what they have done instead of what they will do is better.

also; at this point they're kind of running together into one big mass.

i think one of the big deciding factors will be the current mod's experiences with the applicants.

I think, however, that any post-per-day and total posts min. just encourages spamming.


and one thing i wonder is whether or not the mods will enforce the signature hight rule.

there are some upwards of 600 pixels tall...

[whomps]

Actually, there is another staff that is called the Design Staff. x_angawhomps is one of them.

Blogger staff takes care/moderates only the blogger forums, xanga staff moderates only the xanga forums, and both of those staffs (hmm.. staffs.. is that a word?) can take care of the webmaster's corner. Design staff takes care of all those forums combined.

[innovation]

i think that a rubric with qualifications should be made with candidates scored on a scale of 0-10 on each criterion. or, if one qualification is more important than another, it could be given more point worth. then, points could be tallied up. idk, i think that this presents a more concrete, definite way of deciding. just a suggestion.

[jr0h]

er no thank you. i dont want to be seen like a mean snob no offense. but most of them ARE snobs and plus..i think im too lazy to.

[sunissed14127]

I'm getting anxious...hehe

[inthemudhole]

I'm getting anxious...hehe     

Haha!
Same here.
I could barely sleep last night.
No joke. =P

Same with at school.. I wouldn't shut up about the thread here. No one even knew what I was talking about, either. XP

when will we know if we have the job or not...man i really want it... but mneh!

yeah, as pathetic as it is, i spent my entire study hall talking about it to a friend who only got a xanga 2 weeks ago, but shes used to ignoring my rambling, so its ok

[innovation]

okay, this is moving really quickly.
i'll post the sample rubric here.

helpfulness: /10
congeniality: /10
creativity: /10
open-mindedness: /10
dedication: /10
maturity: /10
respect for rules and guidelines: /10

TOTAL: /70

yeah.. i thought those were all pretty important.
i think it's also useful for deciding who, exactly, is "exceptionally qualified."
