Deep Six Opens 2 Job Positions

[aavenr]

We are launching yet another recruitment effort. Two positions are open to join the collective bunch of nutcases that make up Deep Six.

Why would you want to waste your time working without pay for us? Well, this little site just happens to be the most frequently updated and content featuring Max Payne fansite around, with close ties to Remedy and Rockstar, plenty of affiliates, 3+ years of experience, and full backing from the biggest gaming network in the planet. So if you have got the passion for the game or the scene, this is the place to unleash it. Don't miss this opportunity!

Please note the passion bit above, you'll need plenty of it as this is not a paid job. It does has its special perks, but certainly not in the form of a monthly paycheck because we don't make any profit from running this website, it is all for the love of the game.

Job requirements/description follows below:


General Requirements (for all positions):

* Know about or have been involved in the Max Payne community for some
time now
* Have a passion for Max Payne/Max Payne 2
* Have good written English skills

Position Specific Requirements

News Posters (1):

* Be willing/available to post news on a daily basis. You need to understand that posting news about the Max Payne scene is, for the most part, a very proactive position. Due to the nature of the community, you can't just check your inbox and expect to find all your news sources there. You need to be willing to dedicate 20-45 minutes of your time browsing through mod websites, forums, fansites, etc. on a 24/48 hour basis. Make no mistake about it, posting news for the most frequently updated Max Payne fansite is a demanding job.

Content Writers (1):

* This is pretty much about writing all sorts of articles and features (editorials, previews, reviews, parodies, interviews, etc.) and you get to decide what you want to do. Have writing experience is required and preferably on other gaming websites. Must be able to submit samples of previous work (essays, articles, etc.). We are open minded as to what writing style you favor, be it serious or humorous/lighthearted.
* Be willing/available to write content on a regular basis

Note: All successful applicants will have to go through a 2 week trial period before being full accepted into our team. From the day one you will get access to a staff section of our forums but you won't get an @3dactionplanet.com email account, weblog (currently broken but returning soon) or an addition to the staff page until you pass the trial period.

I'd edit the post if I could, but I can't, so nevermind.

[aavenr]

I truly don't mean to drag this off topic, but that was indeed a bad move. If you just fire back at any insult/comment thrown at you that really won't impress any potential hirer, and even less so in the very same thread where the job is advertised. What you want to do is to show you can keep your cool and just dodge that shot smartly, in a fashion that demonstrates how mature you are.

Think about it would you? Just a tip.

[Rico]

Hmmm what exactly do you need to become a news poster? I usually look at pretty much all the MP2 websites out there for news anyways so I might as well help a website out :P

Position still available ADM?

[ADM]

As far as I know it still is

Basically you check out the MP sites and Deep Six hosted sites.. forums stuff like that.

Then post up what you find, that's pretty much it really.

Would love to have you aboard the team Rico.

[aavenr]

As long as you can commit at least 20-25 mins per day, 5 times per week to finding/posting news.

Both positions are open till further notice.

Make no mistake though, the job is not simply checking MPHQ and PR then posting those news at D6. You need to check forums, mod sites, editing sites, the international fansites, etc.

If you have any further questions let me know.

Well anyway If I'm going to join then it's my brother who will write all the stuff ( yes, he has proper grammar )

Technically, he can.. but it will be frowned upon very much.

[ADM]
