Before you read this, I'd like to apologize for the length of this post 😛
It's a fantastic experience to be a part of such a wonderful group of staff. I don't mean to bump this old topic, but people should really look into submitting their applications. We still have some open positions, and it would be great to have you as a part of the team.
I remember in the past, a thread was placed saying that all of the teams were hiring. I wanted to start off as a CTM at that time, but the applications were closed at that time, and I wasn't quite as active to be applying for that position anyway. I was contacted stating so, and was recommended to join the Package Team and Review Team, and I was told I could move up from there.
To be honest, I didn't really want to join the Package Team at first, just because I thought that it would be a difficult responsibility to take on. I then saw the backlog of requests piling up, and it hit me - being on the Package Team helps others achieve their goals, and make their sites a success. Every post counts, even if it's short, it will still add to the activity of the forum, and increase the likelihood of a guest hitting that Register button.
I then applied to the Package Team when Mr. Panos was the Package Team Leader, and I woke up the next morning to see my username Orange! I was very excited, and I helped out as much as I could, and my efforts continue to grow as we speak. Working with Panos was great, and he was always there to help. His promotion to the Administrative team was well-deserved, and I hope to join him there some day. I was also able to work with Lorcan as well, which was a great experience as well, although I didn't converse with him much as he was on vacation at the time. Both are amazing people, in fact, everyone here is great to work with. Being on the package team wasn't as hard as I thought, especially having the tasks split up among the Package Team Members!
I then thought it was time to move on, and continue my exploration of all of the staff positions here at FP. I saw that the Community Team was once again receiving applications, and I was given tips by two amazing staff members who shall remain nameless for now. I sent in the longest application I felt I've ever written in my life, and I was later promoted! Mikaya is a great Community Team Leader, and Saru is great to work with as well. I really hope I can advance on to a Team Leader someday, and keep exploring the endless possibilities here as a staff member at Forum Promotion.
Again, it's a pleasure to work here, and I love helping out FP and making it a better place. I highly recommend getting your applications in as soon as you see the topics open up, even if you don't think you'd be fit for the position. I honestly never thought I'd be hired on, but look where I am now. It's an honor to help out FP as much as I can, and I love every part about it. :great:
