[Now Hiring] Player Relations and Developers
« on: April 03, 2015, 05:18:34 pm »
Hello aRO,

You may have noticed we have recently hired on new staff members that have been quickly overwhelmed by the amount of work needed to get the new forums/website up, test the new client, create fresh content, and (most importantly) help our players! We already need more help! Please take a look below to see if you can assist us.

We're currently looking to fill the following positions:

Title     Description & Requirements
Public Relations     Whether it's banter, tech support, complaints or game strategy and mechanics, you should be able to hold the conversation.  You will also host mini events and respond to some basic tickets.
Required: A fair amount of game and forum social time and a basic knowledge of everything RO.
Developers/Scripters     The wizards behind the scenes, you'll hardly ever see sunlight.
Required: eAthena/rAthena/Hercules scripting.  Preferred: database knowledge, SQL, PHP, FluxCP, etc.

All staff members are expected to preserve and protect project confidentiality at all times.



Please consider the following before you apply.

We're looking for applicants who possess qualities such as:
  • Loyalty and dedication to the server and, collectively, its players.
  • Devotion to ongoing projects and respect for confidentiality.
  • An average understanding of game mechanics.
  • Full fluency in English. Bonus if multilingual, but not required.
  • Ability to communicate clearly and efficiently.
  • Patience for reading through and making sense of lengthy posts when necessary.
  • Common sense and problem-solving ability.
  • Ability to take constructive criticism and grow from it.
  • Ability to remain unbiased, especially in the face of hostility, and follow and enforce rules regardless of personal opinion.
  • Ample patience, honesty, humility, and maturity.

Please especially consider how long you will be able to devote time to the server.  Real life is important, but if you have a highly erratic schedule or know major changes will be happening soon in your life, please consider applying at another time.  If you'd like to work on a contractual basis, IE we send you a project request and you are compensated on completion, please go ahead and send in an application with specification as such.



If you feel you have the qualities we are looking for and are interested in any of our available positions, please prepare a detailed resume with cover letter for your application.  Coders should prepare a snippet of their own script (maximum of 500 lines) to demonstrate scripting abilities.

In your cover letter, please answer the following questions:
  • What country do you live in?
  • How old are you?
  • What is your availability like? (Days/Times)
  • What are you doing aside from playing this game?
  • Who are your main characters in AnesisRO?
  • How many hours a week would you say you typically play AnesisRO?
  • Which position are you applying for?
  • Why are you applying for this position?
  • Why should we choose you?
  • In your opinion, how can we improve the server?
  • Is there anything from a past event or update that you would have liked to see done differently?
  • What does the RO in AnesisRO stand for??

We are looking to fill 1-2 Player Relations positions and 1-2 Development positions. Please treat this as if you were applying for a job at any other company. Your application (resume and cover letter) must be sent to FLAN via PM.  Do not send it to any other forum account or else it will be ignored.  Application information can simply be copied and pasted into the PM.

The deadline for all applications is 11:59 PM Server Time on April 17, 2015.  Only those selected for an interview will be contacted.

NOTE: IF YOU APPLIED LAST TIME AND DID NOT GET CONTACTED PLEASE APPLY AGAIN! WE WILL NOT REACH OUT TO PLAYERS BEFORE THEY SHOW AN INTEREST IN THE POSITION. WE WILL ONLY HIRE THOSE WHO SUBMIT A RESUME AND COVER LETTER.

How funny would it be if I applied?  On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being not funny at all and 10 being your sides are on the ground.

That depends on the application. If you put in a serious application then it wouldn't be funny. If you put in a joke application I might get a good laugh as I adding it to the trash.

Still a few more days left. We've only had a handful of people apply. Don't be shy.

Its easier to get more applications using a webpage based form rather than having people submit professional resumes or Private messages. A Resume also has a lot of personal information that may be irrelevant while applying for a volunteer based job on a P server.

I think your logic is lost on this lot.

It's not lost.

In regards to the webpage with standardized questions, I think that would be a very good idea for the future. As for now, having people submit cover letters and resumes is a tried and true method. Maybe the next time we post for new hires we'll try something different. Thanks for the suggestion.
As for the personal information, it's what Merkel and I would like to see. We would like to be able to trust the people on the staff. Trust comes from knowing the people you employ. There have only been a couple people that have chosen not to provide much personal information, each have very valid reasons not to share, and we respect that. No one is being forced to submit that information to us. Again, thank you for your concern.
