We're hiring again
Posted by Magnus on 3 February 2003, 22:17 GMT

Check border color. Not red, right? Thus, not fake news.

With Michael fairly settled in as news editor, it's time to hire another file archiver. The position of file archiver does not really need an introduction. They handle the files in our archives - adding, updating, moving, screenshotting, anything.

Again, the main thing required here is time. At the moment, there are over a thousand files in pending. That certainly is not the normal situation, though. On a regular day, we get in average 12-13 files. On a busy day, we get 50.

Experience with multiple calculators is a big advantage - we try not to put a preference on any calculator model or platform. Owning a lot of calculators is not required, though - just having some general experience. And just like last time - we're looking for a long term commitment, as well as a high availability. You all know what our users think when there are weeks without updates.

If you're interested, contact us at newstaff@ticalc.org. Please include the following information:

  • Full name
  • Email address
  • If you have MSN or AIM or similar as means for us to contact you
  • Age
  • Current level of education (finished or unfinished)
  • Where you live (town/state/country)
  • Approximate amount of time you think you can put into this per week
  • Which calculators you have experience with or access to
  • A quick motivation on why we should pick you

Also, from experience of last time: This is not a paid job.

Due to the huge interest in this, we have shortened the time for applications. We will now accept applications up to and including Feb 9th.

"If you're interesting..."

Well, Magnus, what if I'm not interesting at all? Is that a failing condition? :)

I also don't mean to be a pain, but on the survey, they said "Many calculator"-- that should be "Many calculators"

For all of the jobs that you apply for, do you HAVE to have instant messaging software installed on your computer?

Good Lord, I tried to reply to a post, and it was deleted before I could reply to it! AND, I kept on refreshing until it popped up. How fast are you working, MV? Geez! :O

Oh...

I just found out why that comment was deleted... I'm a little slow today (and all the other days I've had this @#$# fever). Well, it really wasn't that bad, ah well, I won't argue with it, because I do understand your reasoning. Guess I shouldn't try to post my reply again ;) It followed the same topic, lol

Why was it deleted. I didnt even get a chance to see it LOL.

Well, I'd re-write what he said (which wasn't bad), but one part had something to do with something that probably shouldn't be discussed too openly... I figure, if what he said got deleted, then if I said what he said, then it would get deleted, so there's no use anyway ;)

If you want to go to the trouble of e-mailing me to ask, you could... but it's really not worth it.

Yeah, it really wasn't bad. If you're imagining some horrible flame or text links to p0rn0 sites, then you're wrong. And seriously, do you think Vejita would really post something like that?

I'm sure that we are all familiar with the rising amount of off-topic posts that ticalc.org receives and are eliminated.

Magnus, could you, with your divine powers invested in you and ticalc.org, create a discussion board on this site completely for off-topic posts? It could clear itself on a weekly basis or so, and would cut back on the off-topic posts in news articles. Pleeeeaase, can you make one?

Right now a few other things are at higher priority (including getting an archiver). But after that, it's definitly high up on my TODO list.

Nope. I have this thing called 'college', and 'class', and 'homework'. It's a good thing.
