cB is Hiring!, apply here! =) Options

[*superstitious*]

So you think you have what it takes to become a staff member here? Great, because we're looking for more volunteers to help out run createblog! Remember, being on staff is a job that takes responsibility and dedication, and not just a title to show off. If you became a member only recently, stick around longer and prove yourself to the community.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Passion. People who have a passion for helping others. Helping out the community is what you'll mostly be doing as a staff member, so you better enjoy it!
• Dedication. Dedicated and active people are the ones that make the most impact to the team. Be one!
• Creativity. We always welcome creative people to join our team with fresh ideas on how to manage and improve createBlog as it is still a growing community.
• People who lead by examples, not by promises. We want people with a proven track record, not just promises. Anyone can make promises to do this, to do that, but few actually do.

WHAT WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR

• Bad attitude. We do not want staff members who think they are above others. You must respect your fellow staff members and members in order to earn respect back. Remember: attitude is a little thing that goes a long way.
• Immaturity. We want to build a talented and mature staff team. The last thing we want is someone on a power trip.
• People who dislike helping others. As a staff member, your number one priority will be to help out others, so if you don't enjoy it, you won't enjoy the job either.
• People who want the position for the title. We periodically review our staff performance, and in the past, those who applied for the sake of having a nifty title never did that well...

AVAILABLE POSITIONS

• Design Staff: As a Design Staff, your main responsibility is to assist in and overlook all of the Resource Center sub forums. The ability to create Blogger, MySpace or Xanga layouts and be familiar with HTML and CSS is highly preferred. Knowledge of PHP, Wordpress and Moveable Type is a plus. You must also make the commitment to go through the queue on a regular basis, reviewing submissions and providing some feedback when rejecting submissions. You should also be a regular presence in the Designers' Café, providing feedback, critiques and assisting in overall graphic related inquiries.
• People Staff: As a people staff, it is your job to maintain a healthy community by moderating posts and topics, welcoming new members, making interesting topics, and being nice and helpful in general.

REQUIREMENTS

• Atleast 5 posts per day for design related staff and 7 posts per day for People Staff.
• Official Member or Official Designer status.
• Have been present and active for the past 2 months (at least).

Note that someone who does not have all the above requirements may still be hired if found to be extremely qualified. If you feel you are exceptionally qualified to be considered for a staff position, do apply!

Frankie [ Ventriloquist ]
People Staff

For those of you that may not know, my name is Frankie. My profile states that I've been a member of createBlog for 3 years, but when you take into account my unactivity after first registering, as well as my most recent hiatus, I've been an avid member of the forums for somewhere around 2 full years. Throughout my stay here, I've seen this place both flourish and even crumble at times. Currently, I feel that hiring new moderators is a very good idea and the reason behind my application is because I know that I can help make a difference not only in the community, but in the website as a whole. As expected, I'm very dedicated when it comes to modding the forums. I'm not afraid to search through pages of results; I'm very familiar with the Community Guidelines and Forum Rules (yes, even the new ones); I love love love helping others out... And although it might annoy others, I'm a stickler for the rules that have been established around here. As many of you may know / remember / have heard about, I was a moderator in the past. I started out as a People and worked my up as Head. During my time on staff, I genuinely feel that I helped out 110%. I gave everything I had into improving cB and I know that i'll do it again once given the chance.

Current Moderators, when considering me for this position, I ask that you do not simply accept me based ONLY on my past. I only want my prior Mod duties to be viewed as work experience and job familiarity; not as a one-way ticket to Backstage. I want a fair promotion, one that only occurs because you all think that
now, RIGHT NOW, I would be a good asset to the team; which i'm promising you I will be.

Thank you all for your time & this opportunity.
My AIM screenname is Frankie was all and the best time to reach me would be weekdays during the morning & afternoon or weekends during the night..
