February Intern Applications

Outline Designing/Coding Internship Program: February
Join the quest to become a future Outline Staff Member!


It was previously announced that we'd be once again be opening intern applications to the public, so here we are!

To start it off, I'll talk a little bit about what our 'hand-picked' intern process is like, and how the 'applicant' intern process (what this topic is about) differs from the hand-picked one. The hand-picked intern system is the one we've had for a long time where we promote active and contributing members of the community in to the intern group to give them a chance to prove themselves worthy in a position of moderation. Recently I've upgraded this intern system to include weekly little goals for those interns to achieve though-out the week so this helps to improve in direction and process of these interns. Once we feel they can handle the daily tasks of a staff member we will promote them to the Staff group and then that's about it.

However, this application system varies just a little bit. First of all, you don't need to be active in the community prior to your application in to our group to be accepted. We're trying to reach outside of our own community and grab the best designers and coders out there - or train them ourselves. What I mean with the 'train them ourselves' portion of that sentence is that you don't necessarily need to have a whole lot of design experience when you join. However, we're not going to be teaching you one-on-one constantly and you'll need to show three major things: 1) Interest in designing/coding 2) Potential by supplying your own attempts at designing/coding 3) An independent work-ethic. We'll be here to help you, but you need to be able to take initiative on your own and have somewhat independence. I will be providing weekly or biweekly goals for everyone to follow that are tailored to their own skills/requirements.

Here is how the application process is going to word in terms of a timeline:

Step 1: You apply, you're discussed by the Staff and possibly interviewed at some point.
Step 2: We will only be taking five or so people at a time, but there may be more than just one tier of interns depending on who applies. Once you're accepted you'll be put on a month-long period to see how you grow/prosper in that time both within designing/coding skills and in the community. You'll need to interact with the community smoothly if you want even a hope at a position. I'm not saying you need to be a big poster, but you need to be fairly known and liked throughout the community.
Step 3: At the end of the month we'll decide who can be promoted, who needs to be demoted, and who should stay on longer to continue to grow.

So finally, please PM this application form to Cody :

Code:
 

[b]My Outline Username:[/b]
[b]I can do the following:[/b] Code, Design, Post
[b]Examples of my work:[/b]
[b]Past forum jobs:[/b]
[b]Current forum jobs:[/b]
[b]Other forum profile links:[/b]

[b]Why should we hire you?[/b] (A paragraph or two here)


Good luck, remember that you need no prior activity but your activity during the application-reviewing process will be highly influential here! Please realize this will be a moderately bearing task for all involved so do not apply if you won't be active for the entire time and for a while to come after that.

Cody and Joe
