Weekly Staff Member Interview #3 - Mikaya
Hello, and welcome to the latest edition of our Weekly Staff Member Interview Series!
This week, we have decided to interview Mikaya. This member is a staff member of Forum Promotion, and is part of the Community Team!
Now on to the interview!
1) Tell us a bit about yourself Hi there! I'm Mika, I'm 25, was born and raised in England, UK. I've been married for just over a year now, and I have one child at the age of 1. I currently have a part-time job, as an office worker for a local authority. It's not the most exciting job in the world, but it pays well! In my spare time I like to watch a bit of TV (only if there's actually a decent show on), play video games (I have a 3DS and PS3), go shopping (I like to spend money), watch movies (mostly rom coms/action/thriller), and frequent forums (only a couple) since I like conversing with others (& making new friends) and engaging in discussions that I like providing my thoughts on. I also have a keen interest in computing and devices. 2) In 5 years time where do you see yourself? I probably would have another child by then (here's to hoping) and would have left work as well, to look after them both. My husband would be the one going to work and earning money to live on. I don't mind. I'd rather not work and look after my family! Working is alright but there is a limit. It doesn't help since I'm a little lazy in nature! I would be a full-time housewife (ugh. not that wonderful but it'll do!). Beats a real job any day in my book! 3) As a child and even now, who is your hero and why? Uhm, I don't really have a 'hero' as such. Pretty lame, I know. Sorry for not having an answer!. 4) Out of everything you have learned from FP, what has been most valuable? I have learned much more about forums, how to manage them and advertise them in many ways which would benefit me. I've seen so many forums being advertised at FP and it's great to see how much the forum owners/admins are dedicated to their forums! There are many subjects involved in the broad name of forum-ing and it's interesting to find out what members' thoughts are on them. 5) As a forum owner yourself, what keeps you going through the tough slow periods? It's always helpful to keep your head up in tough times, and not give up. As long as you have support, you will be fine. I try to think positive and get creative with ideas and put them in action, in the hope that they will pay off. There will obviously be slow activity moments on forums, and that's natural. Thinking of unique ideas to bring visitors in to join and stick around would be a key turning point. Members have real life to deal with first of all, and your forum is second priority to them, as it should be. 6) If you could swap teams just for a day, which team would you trial and why? I would like to try out the Editorial Team! The articles are a pleasure to read on the homepage. Managing them and submitting my own would be a nice task to undertake. I'm not a very good writer, but I'd try the best that I could! Providing information useful for other FP members and visitors is a great feeling, knowing that they will look back and thank those who created those articles. 7) Any other comments? Nope, I believe I have covered enough!.
And that wraps up this weeks staff member interview! Thank you for reading this, we hope you will continue reading these every week that they are posted!
