HIRING IN MARKETING: Project Manager - Date Extended

[Ariadne Davion]

Another change is coming to the Department of Marketing...

Siera al'Cere (Sedai) has been a staple in Marketing, having served as Project Manager since 2011 when I nagged at her to take over for me when I stepped down to be HoA. She has been the sole reason we even have Ajah and Company Logos, while also flawlessly keeping up our shop with event items and submissions. And while her work in Marketing isn't done *dangles chains* the Project Manager position is in need of some fresh blood with new and vibrant perspective.

I genuinely could not have done this job without her, and for that I am eternally grateful for Siera's (Sedai) help in making the Marketing Department the amazing staple of this community as that it is!


Without further ado:

It's really strange seeing this

But yes! Apply people! It really is a good position. I just think it needs fresh blood and I want to take a step back to focus back on the Graphic work.

If you have any questions feel free to ask!

It was really strange to post. D: It's like an end of an era...!

Re: HIRING IN MARKETING: Project Manager

We might be getting close to the holiday crazy, but don't forget to get your applications in! This is job centers mostly around Project Management (as per the title) and if organizing pretty things is your 'thing' this is DEFINITELY the job for you!

Just shy of 2 weeks left to apply.

Re: HIRING IN MARKETING: Project Manager

[Ariadne Davion]

Having received no Applications I am extending the date to Tuesday, January 10, 2017.​

I wish I had the time for this, it'd be a great challenge and accomplishment. I am sure that someone else more competent and with more time on their hands will come along. If not, there are always means of persuasion. :shifty

 

[Sarramy Valtiele]

I wish I had more confidence for this. It sounds like a great position.

 

[Jaryd Kosari]

Is this a job that can be held concurrently with other admin positions? If so, which ones?

 

[Ariadne Davion]

Sarr, it's a great position to learn on if your up for a challenge. And you'll be working with a very small team.

Unfortunately the rules wouldn't allow this position to be held in conjunction with another Admin Role because you are serving as an Admin (you have staff under you!). Otherwise i'd have kept it when I started to serve as HoA for Gray.

 

[Jaryd Kosari]

Gotcha, thanks.

 

[Sarramy Valtiele]

Alright then, my application, for what it's worth, has been submitted.

 

[Ariadne Davion]

[Ariadne Davion]

Still time to get more applications in! :joy

 

[Ariadne Davion]

Just under a week to get your name in!

 

[Alora Sionn]

Do it :halo

 

[Ariadne Davion]

Just a few days' left! You will get to jump on and start the next big project! (Department Logos!)

 

[Ariadne Davion]

Tomorrow is the last day to get your apps in!

 

[Ariadne Davion]

I'm still accepting applications until the end of the day! Get yours in now! :joy

 

[Nyavene al'Meer]

The question is, who's end of day :scratch
