Hiring, Spring 08 Options

[superstitious]

Hello - it's that time again.

We would like to know who may be interested in becoming a staff member, or if there's anyone that you would like to see on staff.

Please post in this thread if you are interested and/or who you think should be hired. It would be greatly appreciated if you could give a reason as to why you (or who you are suggesting) would be a good addition to staff. Please specify People Staff or Design Staff.

I'll repeat something that was mentioned in the last hiring thread regarding potential Design Staff:

Especially for Design staff, dont be afraid to nominate yourself if you have a low amount of posts but you have a lot of great contributions. We may still consider you, we may not. But we'll never know if you dont put your name out there.

We do not have a definite time frame yet, but this should take no longer than a couple of weeks (depending on how long this thread remains open).

Also, one more thing (then I promise to hush, for a while at least xD), please don't spam in this thread. =)

Also, I'm going to start deleting any posts that are not hiring related from now on. I hate to do that because I hate deleting posts, but I will in this thread. Sorry guys. - Rebecca

I would like to nominate Betty, Nicki, and myself for People's staff.

I briefly elaborate on my support of both Betty and Nicki: I think they are sincere, curious, and (in comparison to the average cber) dedicated members. I believe that they are capable of facilitating change, seriously considering change, and working well with others in order to ensure the greatest benefits of change.

I will briefly elaborate on my self-promotion: Although it is true that my last staff position (people's) was short lived, it is not true that I was unfair or (unreasonably) short with the membership here. I am perfectly capable of maintaining a certain degree of professionalism, against my more passionate judgments. My reasons for leaving resembled more an exhaustion and apathy, than they did anything else. However, I feel much more exuberant and active here today. There are changes occurring and a lot of reform being discussed. I care for Createblog, and especially the community here. This is why I want to be on people's staff. I feel that if I am closer to the administrative bodies, I will have a larger voice in policy change. Further, I feel that I have a lot to contribute. People's staff is certainly about moderating the boards, and I would accept the responsibilities fully, However, I hope to have a larger influence on the future of Createblog. You all, for the most part, are aware of my abilities as well as my weaknesses.

Good points. Anybody that will contribute to making this place better, is good in my book.
