Sticky open applications.

[Alkaz]

Garion has said everything which needs to have been said. The page will be updated as and when it is needed from now on with a link to the correct announcements so for future reference it will be easier just to send people to the page under the Habbox section on the site rather than trying to help them navigate the forum to find the announcement.

Then you have 8 threads with closed applications which is absolutely unecessary

Stickying the open thread would be fine

Have a subforum with [CLOSED] and [OPEN] prefixes.

I'm sticking to my gut and agreeing with you

[Yupt]

Im sorry, but I know it looks more *official* to have a subforum, but it's really not needed, it would be easier if they were just stickied under announcements and then unsticky once apps close, simples.

I think a Habbox Jobs forum (not a sub-forum) would be a great idea. Could even divide it into sub-forums, e.g Forum, Site & Habbo.

I think the best benefit of having a Habbox Jobs subforum though, would be that if Managers wanted to recruit one or two people instead of having a mass recruitment drive, they could simply post that they're looking for one or two people to join the team. Best part about this would be that people who regularly check the jobs & want a job in a certain department, would probably notice these sorts of things first, and they're the sort of people who are dedicated towards the job.

Though even then, having an Announcements thread every week announcing what Habbox departments are recruiting at the moment, would be a good idea. I'm looking at this in a professional Monster.com-esque (link) kind of way. Maybe I'm overthinking it though.

Oh, while you're at it - why not make a new subforum for each individual department so a constant feed can be posted? :rolleyes:

In all seriousness, why complicate everything and spend so much time over crap like this? Stickying the open applications is a perfect idea.. there's no reason to do rubbish like sub-forums which simply don't need to be there. I thought the index page was meant to be shortened? :S

As for the Job Openings page not being updated, this may not entirely be the fault of the Content Designers as the managers are supposed to PM alkaz and let him know so he can pass it on to the content designers and I admit that I've failed to do so in the past with the various other things I have to do...

Seems like a long, drawn-out process. Is there a reason it has to go through Alkaz? :S Why can't the managers just PM the "person in charge of publishing job openings" Maybe people don't know if job openings are open or not because it takes so long to go through 3 people before it's updated..

Im sorry, but I know it looks more *official* to have a subforum, but it's really not needed, it would be easier if they were just stickied under announcements and then unsticky once apps close, simples.

Agreed.
It's not like ticking a box takes a long time either :S

The reason they had to PM me was because it was me who used to update the page before I became Asst General Manager and then Jin made the AGM(S) update it which is why it then became Garion but we've sorted the problem now and a Content Designer will be keeping on top of this page.

I also think the 'Job Opening' page is quite hidden, and some people might not go look for it, they might just see it and think "Hey, that might be good for me". That's how I started, I came on to check a value of a rare and amongst the banners in the top right corner of the habbox.com site and I saw that EO applications were open!

[Alkaz]

Yeh that was something as well which was down to the AGM(S). There will either new department application banners or a general banner that links people to the job openings page on the site. Hopefully one general banner could work better than lots of them which all go in order and people may not see.

Have a subforum with [CLOSED] and [OPEN] prefixes.

That's strange, I was literally just going to post that haha.

Would make a lot of sense imo

no it wouldn't as you'd have a page full of closed apps and on the odd chance one with an open prefix which is absolutely useless as whats the point drawing attention to closed apps, there is no reason to and a subforum would be useless aswell

Sticky the application thread is only logical way to do it tbh
