It should have been stated.[/quote]i think the point is that he didn't think it was necessary. like he "left it to chance" because you could've fulfilled the requirements without giving examples. it's just that an application with examples almost always looks better than attempting to only use words to explain your ability to come up with creative and interesting ideas.[/quote] FAQ Keyword Search: Post Options Favorites Manager Notify me of new replies to this topic by email Notify me of new replies to this topic by private message Original Post penguincube Posted at 11:27 pm on Nov. 17, 2007 Our new managers are as follows. Contest - semibittersweet Reason: This extremely creative application not only was outside of the box, it blew the box apart with several tons of C4 explosives.  Proving this member's creativity, It made me laugh, cry, become aroused, but most importantly presented logical and professional ideas about the position (including great contest ideas). Advertising - White Ninja Reason: This application was well-written to beginning to end, showed enthusiasm about the position, an ability to be upstanding and professional, and a mind for business. Congratulations.  Semi and Ninja, you will be hearing from me in a few about what is expected of you. Everyone else who applied--  Almost all of the applications I received were good.  And the one's that weren't good were all n00bs.  That being said, I can't stress enough how only one person is able to fill each position and not being chosen in no way signifies inferiority.  Many members have already contributed to contests and advertising on LiveWire, but at the end these members best represented our needs.  Thank you soooo much to everyone who applied. To the rest of LiveWire - make sure you let the new managers know if you have any ideas for them! Eric

I wish you still had a copy of this so I can use it as a standard for the rest of my life. SlipKnoT1 Posted at 10:37 pm on Nov. 19, 2007 Congrats Disillusion Posted at 10:41 am on Nov. 19, 2007 Fab managers. I wholeheartedly approve :D silverbullets Posted at 10:35 pm on Nov. 18, 2007 Quote: from Ramellan at 2:27 am on Nov. 18, 2007 NO not white ninja, god we are all gonna die shush. whiteninja rocks starry night Posted at 6:08 pm on Nov. 18, 2007 congrats BBallAsh23 Posted at 5:32 pm on Nov. 18, 2007 Congrats to the winners! Advertising Manager just keeps track of the advertisements that people want to advertise... I am assuming. rcduggan Posted at 4:44 pm on Nov. 18, 2007 what does Advertising Manager do? 1Laura1 Posted at 3:45 pm on Nov. 18, 2007 congrats guys Sam Posted at 1:18 pm on Nov. 18, 2007 That was something which semi added by herself. Eric never said anyone had to add them but she did by her own initiative. Which is what a contest manager needs, to think, outside of the box. ImSoHappy Posted at 1:12 pm on Nov. 18, 2007 I can stand up and say i apologize for any comments that seemed a bit unusual or out of context on my part, i understand that everyone was given an equal chance and that i was not unfairly treated, i never said that to start with, what i meant was the "winning" application had examples in it and i saw nowhere in the description about using any examples, obviously i mislead myself under i my own false judgement about what the requirements were, had i known at the time that examples were needed i would have taken it upon myself to find such examples, anyway let's say no more about it.

I'm not saying it wasn't great, I'm sure it was and congrats to her and Johnny boy, I'm sure they'll do great. The Professional Posted at 1:07 pm on Nov. 18, 2007 Quote: from ImSoHappy at 12:42 pm on Nov. 18, 2007 This was not a fair process. How can you claim the process was unfair, ISH? I could understand how you would make such a claim if Eric privately contacted Semi and said, "Submit examples of your work, it'll definitely do you some good!" - but he didn't.  That would've made an unfair process.  Every single person went in and submitted their application based on the same amount information. Simply because her application had better features, doesn't mean the process was unfair - and you making such a claim shows Eric made the right decision.  Every position requires maturity, and if anything, you've demonstrated a lack of that in this very thread.

And btw people that are flaming me, you can't do that, i have an opinion and it is valid, so you can't out scream me. That post shows exactly why you were not selected. I mean, really. How many times do we have to fucking explain it to you? First of all, you're just bitter (el oh el) about not getting the position. Secondly, if we have to tell you that you needed examples, then that proves you're not ready to have the position because you didn't inherently know that. Give it up already, you're making yourself look more idiotic with every post. audrey820 Posted at 11:53 am on Nov. 18, 2007 Quote: from semibittersweet at 2:28 pm on Nov. 18, 2007 Quote: from audrey820 at 1:38 pm on Nov. 18, 2007 semibittersweet sold herself better.
