Senior DJ position

[Kyle]

Just wondering what the purpose of the reintroduction of the senior position was, other than to bolster egos of already established members of the department of course

question:

What is difference between head/senior positions?

The reason the Senior DJ role was brought because we felt that there should be a stepping stone from a Regular DJ to Head DJ because in the past a few people were very overwhelmed with the amount of a Head DJ actually does, with this stepping stone it will help me decide who to put up and who I feel would be suited to the role hence the reappearance of the role. Although, you were asking in the help desk about the role I wasn't aware that we are allowed to discuss it so my apologies for that.

- Report any Show Issues, Missed Slots OR Swearing In Song that happen in any show
- Post feedback about any DJ you tune into
- Host 1 event per month (This could vary from a Credit Giveaway - Assisting a Head DJ with an event).
- Provide team comments on the Weekly Leaderboard about your allocated team (This can change)
- Provide a comment on monthly reports
- Assist a Head DJ in a team bonding event

That is quite similar to the Head DJ role but its only back as a trial run just to test the water and see whether the role actually helps or not.

seems like overdelegation if you ask me

didnt answer my question though, what is difference between head and senior? could you use 1 role for it all and give them a short period to get to grips with it

A senior DJ some might say is an Assistant Head DJ (without the Asssistant part). I personally think because a few people were struggling with the Head DJ role we may as well bring in something that could help people who have potential but maybe aren't ready for the actual Head DJ as such. So Senior role is well I hope getting them ready for it.

You promote people to head DJ because they are better than the rest and hard working, if they cant "handle" the work surely that means YOU picked the wrong person for the job?

Perhaps yes, but I promote people who I feel are showing potential and who I feel could handle the role, I guess sometimes you have to take those risks and give people a chance till you finally find someone who is able to handle the job. Either way, I feel Senior DJ is a stepping stone and I feel at this moment in time is needed.

Apart from the monthly event aren't those things all done by the community anyway since it's literally just feedback on shows? Oh and the team bonding thing but that's a pointless waste of time and resources anyway

I mean them actually hosting an event so for example a giveaway on habbo whether being a rare/norm giveaway or a credit giveaway .

Bringing seniors back was mention when I was Head DJ about 2 months ago but it seem to have stopped there. It is finally in place I suppose and as a trial they will know if it was worth bringing it back or not. This like this will always have negatives & positives but the negatives can easily change. If it wasn't for me being busy with real life job and lost all my 5000 music due to my computer broke I would of still be here as Head DJ. Yes there is a lot of requirements to do but when you have people to encourage you, it goes well.

There is an absolutely MASSIVE step between regular DJ and Head DJ, and even the most dedicated DJs have been known to struggle with it!

The biggest thing for me about bringing these roles back is making sure that we can tune in and feedback round the clock. Although technically any DJ could report to any of the Heads or James, they generally don't - with the Seniors brought in, the Senior+ team (8 of us - I'm still doing the Head role at the moment) can pretty much tune into every show, which means that DJs can have better feedback. Especially that it's more thorough (Seniors and Heads will both be providing better & more consistent feedback now), and more fair, as the Head may only be able to listen to one of their shows in the week, whereas this way the Senior under the Head will be able to fill in any holes the Head may have missed.

There's also the added bonus of more 'forced' events, we have the resources to do it but not many people use it, Seniors are also asked to host events each month!

And rewarding people for their work, it's shown in the past that if any staff member puts in lots of effort and it rarely gets recognised with promotions it can lead feeling a bit 'stale' - now whilst I completely disagree with arbitrary promotions, there are plenty of staff within HabboxLive who deserve a promotion, and can't commit to the Head role (as it's VERY time consuming), or could really help out - it's a fantastic step between the two.

Also like I just commented, the Head role is very time consuming, tuning into as many of your team's shows (you could have 10 DJs in your team, 3 slot MINIMUM, that's 30 hours a week!), writing feedback, doing your own shows, reports - it's not easy, and with the assistance of seniors it's just going to ease the Head role.
