Oh my god I could pretty much actually apply for this job if I did a graphic design degree........ grr

[Michael]

I wonder if MrCroissant/Howdire is leaving as it's his job? or if its just another add-on to the team

[dbgtz]

Might apply for the hell of it even though I don't meet half the criteria lol.

[xxMATTGxx]

Does anyone know how many staff members they have based in the UK now? I know it would probably be just a handful at the most.

Guessing a 'Junior' to help out and be in addition to?

Or you could be a doctor if you had a medical degree or an attorney if you had a law degree or a curator if you had an art history degree

Trying to get Naomi / @blissa to apply lol - she actually makes graphics that are good and her badges would be worth earning.

You've had professional experience in web design?

[lawrawrrr]

Yeah, for the media organisation I work at (I'm online manager and graphics & design manager - I designed & built a website (not coding) and all the logos and stuff to do with it. It's actually just under two years though, about 18 months ish

Ah, there's also the unwritten rule that if you've played Habbo you can't work for them, although I'm not sure if that's still true :)

That sounds like a fully ridiculous rule, surely someone who's played it would have a better knowledge base than a new person? You'd have to play it for a while as a graphics designer just to get a grasp of what to design and market research? And I'm sure some of the staff members have said they played it a bit before...

Sounds like a fair enough rule, I mean, they want staff to be doing their job, not hanging around talking with their friends and giving out free stuff. But I suppose the rule would only be imposed for those that actually need an account on the client. Surely not all Sulake staff have a staff account on the hotel? I imagine most of the new staff cope fine without playing Habbo before anyway, otherwise Habbo will really be restricting the number of people they can employ.

I get what you mean but most adult professionals wouldn't still be playing (hey, I said most), and they'd monitor your account - aren't mods muted? (They used to be anyway)

Ludus became staff and he already played/played in the past didn't he. He still plays now lmao, it should be fine perhaps keeping it under wraps would be the better option though.

its not a rule, they only say that to stop habbos applying for jobs. the majority of staff were habbos before they were staff. someone told me last week a habbox user is staff now...:rolleyes:

Do we have any modern examples of this? The only people that I can think of that played Habbo before they came staff were Habbos that became Hobbas.

ive been told i must not reveal names or else (i signed the official habbo secrets act so i cant tell you, sorry)! anyway... who'd be stupid enough to say on a job application i played habbo. if you dont tell them they won't know.

So there's a "Official Habbo Secrets act" that states:

"Do not state any staff members that have played Habbo before becoming a staff member"

...Right.

bloody hell, is it just habbox with users who have absolute no sense of humour? can you not spot a tongue in cheek post when you see one? there is an official secrets act, i just placed habbo in front of it cos i couldn't be bothered to answer your question. if you want to be super literal... i was asked not you post the name so i wont. but... mrcroissant used to be a habbo, his habbo name is howdire. so you are wrong.

[Scotland]

yup, that's true

someone told me last week a habbox user is staff now...:rolleyes:
