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!

[*Sandraaa*]

Good morning,

In case you can't tell, my name is Sandra. I'm 19 years old. I joined cB in the early year of 2004. Although, I had another username [Sandra (insert numbers)]. I've been through it all; I've been a spammer, a lurker, a troll ... so I can understand practically every member / issue going on.
Please, do not let my post count fool you; I'm a very active member. I rarely get into trouble and everyone thinks I'm cute / adorable. Why shouldn't they? I hardly pick sides, I'm a people's person. I love cB with my whole cute heart. I know I can make this site a better place. Say goodbye to spammers, say hello serious / interesting topics.

Also, I know practically every staff member and we get along quite well.

I am really familiar with the community guidelines.

If not taken, you've lost a valuable asset.

This application isn't a joke, I mean it.

I think the people need me to be their staff so I'm applying for a people staff spot.

I am the missing 'it' on this forum. You've found me, take me.

Here I am, this is me, there's nowhere else on earth I'd rather be, oooh here I am, just me and you, tonight we make our dreams come true.

Hire me cB! I am the 'it'!

Oh, you can only contact me through PM.

PS: if you hire me, I'll fire Diana.
