ticalc.org is hiring

Ok, so we're hiring. The post we are currently after is primary news editor. This means that you will be actively "hunting" for news to post on our site, both from outside sources and from our file archive. Secondary work expected if you have the time include surveys and maintaining static content on our site (it should not be quite as static as it currently is). So, what's required of you? Mainly time. Doing news can take a lot of time - talking to a lot of people, reading a lot of sites... Naturally, a decent familiarity with "the TI scene" as it is today is also required, so you'd know how and where to find things to post. As for special skills, none are really required. You will need to be reasonably fluent in the written English language. While we happily accept staff members from outside the US (see our current staff listing for proof of this), English is the only language used on our site. Sounds interesting? Let us know at newstaff@ticalc.org. Please include the following information: - Full name
- Email address
- 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
- Quick summary of relevant experience
- A quick motivation on why we should pick you
- If you have MSN or AIM or similar as means for us to contact you
We will accept applications until Dec 22nd.
Also, please note that we are looking for a long-term commitment. If you think you only have time or want to do this for a couple of months, we are currently not interested. Update (22/12): Ok, no more applications. There were a lot though, so it'll take us a while to get through them all. Thanks to all those who sent in applications. We may not be able to respond to each of you in person unless further questions are required.

Hey, I applied. Woo. Fun.
actually, I'm really hoping I get this job... not that it'd give me much professional experience (though I know I will get some), but I think it'd be a lot of fun. besides, this way I could finally get beyond just posting on the message boards, and actually say things that get noticed. Even if they are formal news statements.

Hey, I wasn't really being "immature." I was just being a happy person (who happened to have a few questions about asm). ;-) Besides, I can be serious if the situation calls for it, because I use calculators a lot and like to program for them (not many people can program in asm anymore). Anyway, the job that I would be in, assuming they accept it, wouldn't be something that requires all sorts of "trust" and everything (even though I don't think that would be a problem). All I need to do is download a program, run it thoroughly, test it, maybe even view the source code, and then write a small summary report on it describing the good sides, bad sides, overall opinion, and how it works. And, best of all, if someone doesn't like my particular report, they can let me know before posting it to the website. It's not like I could post all sorts of innaproperiate material on there anyway, even though I wouldn't. So, I think I have a better chance than you think. :)
