Hi and welcome to Firdal Isle's hiring thread. Wanna know more about us? Head over HERE. We're currently having a High School Musical event, so feel free to check us out.

Well, as I'm sure most of you know, school is coming up. I'm going to be doing a full load of high school as well as a full load of college, so I won't have as much time as I'd like to color and stuff. So I need to hire some staff members.

Currently, we are looking to hire 1-2 full- or part-time colorists, probably some guest colorists, 1-2 managers, and a certist. We may also have positions for other staff members if you think there is a position you could fill.

Interested? Well, read on...
What I'm looking for in you:

- You’ll need to have Photoshop or a similar program. It must be able to read .psd or .tiff files so that you can open whatever files, such as templates, that I send you. [Colorists only]
- You’ll need to be on Gaia at least two or three times a week (daily is preferable, of course), and of those days, you should be able to be on Gaia for at least two hours.
- a) I ask that you have the time necessary to do the coloring that I and the shop will require. [Colorists only]
b) I ask that you have the time necessary to do managerial duties required by the shop. [Managers only]
- I’ll probably ask that you help come up with ideas, events, etc.
- It would be preferable if you can do lineart edits (especially since I never seem to do good ones, haha), but it’s not a requirement. [Colorists only]
- Creativity is a MUST.
- It would be preferable if you have MSN Messenger, Yahoo! IM, or Gmail so that I can talk to you more easily. Having an email address in general is also a requirement.
- You must check messages (well, emails anyways) at least every other day so that I can reach you.
- The more active you are, in bumping and/or in hanging out at the main shop, the more likely you are to get hired, no matter what position(s) you're applying for. ^^

=========================
The hiring process is a 3-round deal:
Round 1: You submit the form found here in the thread.
Round 2: If I like what I see, I will PM you and ask to email you a template. This will be your chance to prove that you can color my lines. (not that that'll be too hard, haha) You'll be asked to color at least one with the shading template I will provide, as well as at least one with your own shading. You will also be asked to do one example of an edit using the template.
Round 3: If I like what I see in the previous round, you'll be put on a list (that only I can see, as it will be a document on my computer) with other people who have made it to the third round. Or, if I absolutely love your work, I may just hire you on the spot, of course. Once I feel I have enough applicants on the list (hopefully won't be too long), I will decide who I would like to hire and then PM everyone to let them know either way.
Colorist Info:

- Full time colorists will need to do 1-2 flatsales per month (with 3-5 pets per flatsale, sometimes growing, sometimes non-growing), a breeding event and a custom day every month or two, and colorings for any events we have. You can definitely hold more flatsales, raffles, games, etc., but auctions and a few select other things will require prior permission.
- Part time colorists will probably be asked to do 1-4 pets (sometimes growing, sometimes non-growing) per month for flatsales, as well as some pets for games, events, and possibly even breedings or customs if we’re especially busy and in demand.
- Guest colorists can do colorings whenever they want to. They're under no obligation to do any particular number of pets per month; they can just do colorings when they have the time or inclination and the pets will be sold at the next opportunity.
======================
Manager Info:

Managers will be asked to hold games, help come up with events, etc. I can't give specifics at the moment, as I'm not entirely sure what I'll need, but in general, just take a look at what managers do in other b/c shops to get some idea. ^^;;
======================
Certist Info:

As a certist, you will probably only be asked to do the certs once. However, if in the future I need new certs, it would be awesome if you were available to make the new certs, or could recommend another certist.
Payment


Colorists:
- Full- and part-time: In general, you'll probably get 80% of whatever colorings you do, the exception being customs, for which you will get 90%. You have the freedom to do up to 3 pet trade/bribe slots per month. You CAN do more, but after you've done the 3 slots, for bribe slots, you must pay 50% of the bribe to the shop, and for trade slots, you must pay 50% of what the pet would have cost as a custom to the shop.
- Guest: You'll get 90% of any raffle or flatsale pets you do and 80% of any auction pets you do. If you do any customs, though, you'll get 50%. You can do pet trade/bribe slots, but for any and ALL of these slots, you must pay 50% of the bribe to the shop, and for trade slots, you must pay 50% of what the pet would have cost as a custom to the shop.
============================
Managers:
- Pay will be negotiable. It could be pets from the shop, gold, items, whatever. There's no set criteria for what you can ask for, and then we'll barter from there.
============================
Certists:
- Pay will be negotiable. It could be pets from the shop, gold, items, whatever. There's no set criteria for what you can ask for, and then we'll barter from there.
============================

Please note that all of the above is negotiable, including colorist pay. For example, my only current colorist asked for pets instead of gold. So don't feel like you're bound by this post.
