FFE: Jobs-Vacancies (Officer Application Thread)

*scratches head* Umm... Are you sure you know what you will do if you will be tasked to handle our Special Features? Ummm... Maybe you can ask Gamer4life for help, or better yet, NeoGen, 'coz he is good with that.Fantasy_Gamer

What, I'm guessing like NeoGen was asked to report on ACC/XIII which he has been doing a great job at. I'm sure if you gave me a job to research on such as his I could do a good job for you all. Ya know, give release dates, find screenshots and videos, etc...

Sure, we can help. :) What is it that you want to know, Sk8?Gamer4Iife

^^^^^ Am I right?

No.

A Special Features Writer is responsible for the union's profilers and feature stories. Your job is to write in-depth articles about the many Final Fantasy characters, events, monsters and summons. Here is an example of a well-written profiler.

What NeoGen did falls into the News Reporter category. Right now, Neo and I are already taking care of that, so I'm not sure if we still need more of them. You'll have to ask FG, if you're interested in becoming a new reporter.

Oh ok. I could do that too. However, as you all may or may not know, I have only played 2 1/2 FF's in full. So idk I'm sure all the characters/things from those games have been taken by now. Idk what you all (FG + FFE) want me to do.

The decision is not ours. You have the right to choose what you want to do, just make sure it's a job you're comfortable with and capable of doing well.

It's not a problem if you haven't played many FF games, just as long as you're willing to research the character you're writing on.

I don't have all the free time in the world (who does) but I thought I'd give filling out this form a shot since it seems like something I might be okay at....

Full Name: Just call me KookieMaster or twilightlullaby

Age: ....(I really, really don't feel comfortable sharing this)

Gender: Female

Location: Maryland

Average time Spent @ GS on daily and weekly basis: Weekly, maybe 12 hours (8 seemed a little low) or less.

Other unions where you serve as officer: I serve as an active officer in the Catz Clan.

Desired/Preferred Job: Special Features/Graphical Designer...

Anything else you want to say that may boost your chance to be selected: I'm a decent enough writer...and I can be fairly active. Does loving FF count? :lol:

Do you or FG have any suggestions to what you think I'd do best, because I think that researching games (regardless if it's that Yuna thing or what you and NeoGen do). I just don't know. Am I allowed to do a, oh idk what to call it, an assignment to see what I'm capable of?

Well out of the 3 I think I'd be the best at News Reporter or Special Features writer. Either one I'd be happy to help out the FFE with. But to be honest, I think I'm a lil more interested in Special Features. And the reason I asked for something to see if I'll be ok is because I don't want to get an awesome job, but when I have to do something embarrass me and FFE. Idk just a thought is all. 

Ok. Please send me a sample of a Special Feature you made yourself. If it's good, we'll give you a shot and that special feature will be your first work and will be published in the FFE homepage and/or forums.Fantasy_Gamer

Ok ok. Thanks! And I'm sorry if this is a popular topic but oh well. I'll start on it now.

CRAP. I was doing Balthier. I guess I'll start over and pick something else... 

I have not seen a Balthier Profiler yet. When we say "Profiler", it is a detailed, in-depth review of a character. What i have done in the special feature "FF12 Characters" article is a general overview of the characters in the game.Fantasy_Gamer

Oh. Well I hope what I do is good enough. Luckily I didnt erase what I have.

Thanks! We have a new designer and I'll formally introduce him to the community soon... (don't reveal yourself as the designer for now, okay?) He is very enthusiastic and is already hyped in making one for July. lol :D

Btw, maniamsmart, you're a good officer at FFFU (aww... now i'm missing chobi :( ). Keep it up! ;) 

Oh i didnt want to be a designer i am horrible at making banners i could make an average one but not a good one

This banner is the most epic I have seen. It looks so good! :o

Doing something like this will keep me interested over the holidays, especially since I have no school for several weeks before the holidays officially begin. Besides, I got a B/A in my english exam if that helps ^_^ 

I'd like to add something.

I have been very busy doing graphic arts and I would like to add this to my application if that's okay. :)

Umm... If you're busy with graphic art, that means you'll have lesser time for FFE. Don't you think it'll be harmful for your application? :PFantasy_Gamer

Nope, because I do it all at school. I can't go on FFE at school, right? So in my free time (which I have a lot of) I post in my unions. Also, thanks for the position. I won't let you down. :D

Love the banner, preety good designer you got there Fantasy Gamermaniamsmart

Hey FG, am I a designer for the union too?

Our new banner is created by Jumbo120788.

Check our Graphic Art & Design Thread to know if you're also a designer. :P I think the thread is already in the 2nd or thrid page of our forums if you have 50 threads per page settings. 

Yeah I'm there. That's cool. I'll take requests if needed :P
