Allakhazam is hiring

Calthine · 09-13-2007, 07:31 PM

Looks like Alla's is going to be looking for people to fill several CM (Content Manager) positions on multiple sites. Since this kind of fansite job requires almost OCD enthusiasm, I immediate thought of y'all (haha, just kidding, luv you guys!). Here's the infoz. Please click through to respond, I'm just going to quote Allakhazam's whole post.

Allakhazam's Magical Realm: Everquest II: Forums

We're about to do a massive expansion of the site and are looking for people who want to work here. Feel free to point frends who might be interested to this thread [the thread over on 'Zam, not this thread! - Cal]. Here are the requirements for the job:

These are paid, part time positions. However, if the money is the most important thing to you, this is probably not for you. We want people who love this stuff and would probably do it for free, and consider the salary as a bonus.
You must be able to put in several hours a day on the site. When you do the work is flexible and up to your schedule. We're pretty good at working with you to make you comfortable on your time schedule, but absolutely require that you put in regular hours of work. If you are not going to have that type of free time available, please don't apply.
You must be 18 or older.
Programming experience is not required. The biggest requirement is the ability to write at an advanced level. It also helps to know some html and to have image editing skills. Since we are adding wiki content to all of our sites, knowledge of wiki editing is also extremely helpful
For game specific openings, you have to be playing that game (even if it is in beta) and really love it. We expect you to become an expert in whatever game you play and that whavever game you cover on our site will be your main MMO.
If you are a heavy forum poster, keep in mind that this gives you admin privileges, which does affect your ability to make some more controversial posts or to post flames. If this is important to you, you might not want to apply

Here are the openings we have right now.

1. General Wiki Editor/Writer. We are launching a new wiki. If you have ever started your own wiki, this is the position for you. This position will be adding general content to our wiki that covers all our games, such as guidelines, help files and more, and helping out on the individual game wikis where needed. The biggest requirements for this position are excellent writing skills and extensive experience with wikis. This position is our current top priority.

2. Everquest Wiki Editor/Writer.

3. Everquest 2 Wiki Editor/Writer

4. FFXI Wiki Editor/Writer

5. Warhammer Online CM (Content Manager).

6. Pirates of the Burning Seas CM

7. Tabula Rasa CM (This position is still under review. The position is only open if we definitely decide to do a site for this game)

8. Age of Conan CM (This position is still under review. The position is only open if we definitely decide to do a site for this game)

9. Hellgate Online CM (This position is still under review. The position is only open if we definitely decide to do a site for this game)

10 Gods & Heroes CM (This position is still under review. The position is only open if we definitely decide to do a site for this game)

If you are interested in any of these positions, please e-mail me at allakhazam@allakhazam.com. This is a job application, so please treat it as such. Provide me with as much information about yourself as you can. Explain what games you play and how much you play them, how much time you can put in on the site and why you have that time available, what your experience and skills are and how they apply to the position (attach a resume if you have one), and anything else you think might be of value. Since your writing skill is very important for these positions, please attach copies or links to things you have written. The more you tell me about yourself and why you should be considered for the position, the more likely it is that you will get hired.

Whats the pay rate? :P

Savanja · 09-14-2007, 10:24 AM

If ya wanna know that, I'd suggest asking her privately. But we don't generally do this for the $$. ;)

Kuian · 09-14-2007, 11:24 AM

I'd do it just to increase my odds in getting into Warhammer beta ;)

But writing? Pssh, me fail Engrish?

Ikarri · 09-14-2007, 11:40 AM

You don't do it for the money, you do it for the chicks and the cool leather uniforms.

Wouldn't work. EA Mythic has been really hardnosed to the press. I guess they are worried about leaks or want dedicated testers.

And no...it soooo isn't about the money lol.

Kuian · 09-14-2007, 12:17 PM

Admit it Radar, it's about the skin tight bright red leather straps that Sav makes you wear.

It's ok to cry man.

Savanja · 09-14-2007, 12:40 PM

Well, since Radar was MY boss and not the other way around, I can assure you, he wears those for fun.

Kuian · 09-14-2007, 01:09 PM

I'm old enough to know that women are always in charge

Thelounge · 09-14-2007, 05:02 PM

The only reason I would do something like this, is so me and Coyote could have dueling blogs. I am sure he would pwn me hard though, but it would still be fun.
