Hive is Hiring!

[Archian]

As most of you know by now, StopCampingN00b recently resigned his position as Community Manager for The Hiveworkshop. His job was to manage our social media and to promote The Hiveworkshop as best he could anywhere he could. He also managed the hive's relations to other sites and forums and brokered deals and set up affiliations. In short: He was our PR Manager, Agent and Diplomat.

Even shorter: He was absolutely outstanding.

And although the staff will miss him dearly, it is also important that we maintain a such position among our ranks. Therefore we would like to extend an invitation to anyone who feels a calling to make the hive the best place they can. If you love the hive, and if you want to do your part in promoting and improving this place to the best of your efforts, then Community Manager might just be the job for you.

There are, as with any job-offer, some requirements:

• Activity: You need to be an active member and you will need to be actively a part of the community and happenings on the site. One of your many tasks will be to promote new resources and new happenings on the site on our Facebook and Twitter accounts.

• Photoshop Skills: A certain level of skills using any form of Photoshop tools is necessary, as you will be working to make posts that need to look good and presentable.

• Creativity: You will need to have a creative business mentality, be able to find new ways of making the site interesting, new ways of making it accessible, and new ways of promoting it to the world.
  
  
• Proficiency in English: You must be fluent or strongly written and conversational in the English language.

We know it is a lot to ask of anyone, especially for being an unpaid position. But it does offer a good chance of educating yourself on the matter of how to manage public relations, how to promote something and generally how to work in a team and forward your own agenda and ideas. It's also a great thing to have on your curriculum vitae/resume, as game development companies and online communities are hiring Community Managers all the time. Food for thought!

Please write your application in the Admin Contact forum if you are interested.

Thank you for your time, good luck and have a nice day!

Sign,
The Hive Staff

Neither can the Hive.

 

[MasterBlaster]

First of all, big props for @StoPCampinGn00b for all the hard work he put in! Thanks a lot, dude!

As for the job offer - it surely is very interesting So much so that I'd love to apply myself, though seeing as how many amazing people visit this site, I imagine I wouldn't really stand a chance against such a tough competition (because unlike @Archian I do expect a lot of people to step up, actually)

So, yeah - good luck to all the fine folks who feel up to the challenge and may the most kickass one of you win!

There are, as with any job-offer, some requirements:

Is there, as with any job-offer, also a salary?

Just kidding, I already read the answer to that in the post.

Well, I hope someone amazing steps in.

 

[Shar Dundred]

I share @HappyTauren's sentiments.

Who will be the one to drink from the Hive grail to receive the blessing of the Moose and the Eredar?
Time will tell.

 

[Diegoit]

Trying on

I thought all positions were unpaid, not just this one specifically.

But whatever, good luck to whoever succeed.

 

[Regent_Artiman]

Another valuable member fell into the real life.
Warcraft will be forgotten soon.

Good luck to the next comunity manager, StopCampingN00b set the bar pretty high!

Pretty easy to do, he was the first and only one.
I am not trying to discredit for what he has done, but rather just point out that without perspective it does not really mean a lot.

 

[Diegoit]

Anyways you can turn 1 CM to someones, im very creative but i cant use PS so i can work with a friend like @Zephyrius2412 or @PrinceYaser, two very good artists examples.
its possible?

 

[HappyTauren]

I think you guys need to outline some more requirements for this, like proficiency in English.

Updated the requirements section of the first post.

Nonsense! Everyone is encouraged to apply! I expect to see an application from you

 

[HappyTauren]

Yeah, if you want to do this you should apply, as long as you meet at least the minimum requirements. Also make sure you can do this consistently for at least a moderately long time.

I would apply for this if I could guarantee that I would last more than a month or two and for personal reasons I cannot guarantee that.

Interesting! I encourage you to apply! We never really said anything about having only one community manager. If there is more than one candidate, we may "hire" more than one. In fact it might even be better, seeing as more people working together could increase the level of activity and consistency.

 

[~El]

I love hanging around in communities like this, and THW has definitely earned a place somewhere inside my heart lately. Thanks to @StoPCampinGn00b for staying with us during this time!

I wish I could apply and have a go at something like this as well, but alas, I'm afraid I wouldn't be the right person for the job, especially with my time constraints.

With that said, good luck to whomever wishes to take up that mantle in the future!

They paid me in the blood of morons.

When I was a map moderator I was paid with salt from the people whose maps I rejected.

Me as admin when I did anything for the site.

Good luck to whomsoever picks this up. Sad to see @StoPCampinGn00b go

 

[HappyTauren]

When I was a request/map/model moderator I was paid in antidepressants so I can keep going instead of killing myself.

DepressedTauren? Never despair, we at the Hive are with you

but you must have a great heart to be a mod (and accept salt and sugar) -_-!

 

[Deleted member 212788]

I'm really sad to see @StoPCampinGn00b resign but I also know how taxing life can be. He is one of the best our community has to offer and there will always be a place for him on the Hive. To you, my friend, cheers.

And to whoever takes up the mantle after him, good luck and have fun

 

[SA Dashie]

This would probably be great for my career as a Programmer, although I fail in the nothing but the Activity requirement because I'm lazy af, so yeh lol.

contest winner says im lazy, what I say?

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Honestly, if not for my health issues I'd probably take the job but I don't want to commit to something and end up disappointing people.

GL SCN,

i'm glad to have been part of many hive funmap events over recent years.
You did indeed set high expectations to the following manager, but i trust this community will help him/her out decently - no worries there.

So really good luck on future endeavours and to the new CM.

Everyone right now:
"I would apply for this position were it not for my unwillingness to do so".

I came back from the graveyard to be witty.
