I think it's ok for people to have more than one job, seeing as they were hired because they were one of the best applicants. You wouldn't want to hire people less suitable for the job simply because the one who would do great in the job already had a job on Habbox. Also, as was mentioned before, if they start falling behind on their duties then I'm sure they would find someone to replace them, but if they are still in the department that means they are doing fine at their job.
I think it is fair this way because they hire the best people regardless and that means that we have people that know what they are doing. It really doesn't bother me if someone had 3 or 4 jobs as long as they can handle it.
I do have no life (Y). That's why I can dedicate the time to here!! If someone else DID have a life, then they shouldn't apply for too many tbh. I wrote a really good explanation of what I meant then I acidentally deleted it all and can't be bothered to remember what it was... but yeah I pretty much agree - and most people would, I think.Quote:

feels weird to be nice in a feedback thread where oli has posted :o :P
I don't agree with this idea at all. However, when you say we would only be allowed one job are you saying that I would have to leave two of my roles? Quite frankly I wouldn't as I love the roles I have and I have enough time for them.
I think you have good intentions and I think it's naive to say that whoever didn't get in had a bad application because it doesn't always work like that. A while back, keiller argued with me that managers don't hire non-Habbox staff. I told him that to get staff, the best thing to do is not write a brilliant application but to integrate into the community - especially of course if you're applying for community-based jobs like DJ/Events/Competitions etc. He did do this by getting active around the forum and HxHD and he did end up with some jobs in the end.
Managers, when hiring, have to take into consideration many factors that can not possibly be covered in an application (are they active? will they behave sensibly? will they do the jobs required of them? how much help will they need?). Managers have different ideas about the 'right answer' for each factor. As a general rule, however, it is normally the people that are already integrated into the community (staff in particular) that are close and therefore they're more likely to get a job, which means they're more likely to end up with multiple jobs. On the other hand, while it's all very well saying "it's up to the person to say how much time they have", it is common sense to assume that someone with 1 job will have more time for it if they don't have others so to me, it's all about finding the right balance... which is why I always try to hire people who don't have any other jobs so that they can get a 'foot on the ladder' and have the time to commit.
In short: too many factors to consider that it'd be foolish to regulate this. at end of the day, managers want the best people, the community deserves the best possible people.
I dont agree; Staff who have multiple jobs have them because they can cope with the work load, people like this are basically in their own way an Asset to Habbox it shows dedication and determination.
When i first read the thread title i imagined the content would be somewhat different then what it is.
But an idea of mine would be to have an Automatic mailing system - Where if a user is after a specific job they can suscribe (like you can to Hx Comps for notifications on new comps) and when the job(s) the user suscribed to are open they could recieve an automatic PM on the forum or an Automatic email, not sure if its do-able but thats my original thought.
I think you should take a look at the Jobs widget/section on Hx.com :PQuote:

Sometimes it helps if you're in two departments like HxHD and HxL used to be the done thing, same with events and hxl.
not going to bother reading the replies as i already have my view on this thread
- at the end of the day it's about who are the best applicants... not if they are already staff
- what the **** is the message ''look the current applicants are bad so therefore staff can apply'' i'd hate to be one of the people who were told they were ''bad''
- if staff can't handle their current job they wouldn't apply for another
just asking here what ''community'' are you even speaking on behalf of unless it's yourself
