How did you become design staff and higher positions? Options

I have always wondered how some of the people on here have become these higher positions.

There are two ways to become design staff. The first is something that will always happen here at createblog. And that is backstage/boardroom other moderators will suggest members that stand out from the rest whom they think will make good staff members. This has been the case with the last 5 people hired. The other method to getting on staff is to wait for a hiring topic. Granted, they don't pop up very often, but it gives everyone a chance, and as long as you are knowledgeable, and have had a decent amount of experience as a member on createblog, you should apply to the topic (when it comes up). Right now, I doubt that createblog will be hiring for any design staff positions. But if you stick around, it should come up sooner or later. For the higher positions bit like headstaff and designstaff. It is considered a promotion, when the upper staff feels like you can take more responsibility, and help manage a larger portion of staff duties.
