We're looking for contributors from anywhere really, but if you are located in M'sia, then it'd be better because we wanna have face-to-face meetings more often.

We are planning for regular, and non-regular contributors.. Depending on the amount of time available, and the quality of posts you made -- That will be the determination of the said position.

I'm a college student, so I'm afraid I can't contribute full time to this movement, although I wish to give it my full support. Would it be ok to infrequently submit articles? A sample of my writing can be found here.

Hi! Sure, we would accept any or all applicants. Of course we would not mind if you are an irregular contributor. Just dont send in article every 1 month.. that would be just sad...

Anyway, do send in your particulars to either Sihumchai or Me and also write an article based on either one of the title we gave. I saw your blog but was just hoping to see what you can come up with using the two title we gave. Hope to read your work again soon!

I'm not to worried about Sihum's and Rev's site (If u guys are the founders). We'd probably need good marketing to get the thunder rolling. smile.gif

yeah it is threadjack and i did appologise ;p. not stealing limelight or anything just giving job opputunities for folks that want to be in the games industry. more jobs for the folks to be in the games industry is a bad thing now?

sure, anyone is welcome. pm me or email me your cv/resume. smile.gif.

not trying to kill anyone off. that type of mentality will stiffle the growth of the gaming industry ecosystem, for me its not just a passion or a hobby or a sideline, this is opputunity that some folks needed or wanted to have a footing in the games industry and build their carreer.

btw not just hiring content writers, i am also hiring web developers - ASP/PHP, mysql, database, etc..etc.. and game developers -API's. SDKs, DirextX programers or XNA, etc..etc.. so u know anyone give me a shout.

But seriously lordie. Its all for the good of community and all.. And I do not object to your point of view at all. But the thing is this. Be it job providing or what not.. I believe we can practice a certain professional courtesy and what not right?

I believe there is something that both of us are trying to accomplish, and I can see in the future that if both you and our project kicks off we will be symbiotic so to speak. And i can see a relationship born between your project and ours.

But I would fully appreciate it that if you would let our lil project grow on its own and not make our job any more harder. I am pretty sure you would not appreciate it if I were to go to your thread and start recruiting from your thread right?

infact if i have a thread on recuitment u are welcome to theadjack and infact if i have candidates that are not suitable but more suitable for your company, i will forward u those resume for your perusal smile.gif just drop me an email and i will recomend the candidate about your project and if they are keen i will forward their cv/resume to you.

i did that in singapore and help a lot of ppl getting a foot in companies like EA, IAH, 10Tacle, etc..etc.. i did some mentorship for a few folks in sg back then, and see their projects take off as well.

its for the good of the industry. infact i want to hire someone like yourself rev, that can take leadership roles, independent and passion for the business. if u keen talk to me, salary packages depends on your qualification and experience.

btw we are not doing console ;p we are doing mostly and mainly MMOGs & PC Online stuff. and its not a blogsite either, its something bigger. and its not like playstix.

Thats interesting..

I would appreciate you forwarding those that you do not need. Although it is regretful to say that We have none to forward to you as our applicant was given a specific idea of what they are getting into..

As for your offer to hire me.. Now thats a tempting and shrewd move if you get what i mean :wink:

What position might you offer me? :glee:

i got a snr position open ;p. if u are up for it. maybe not content director or that lvl but i got a manager spot open and 1 exec stuff open currently. but manager spot the requirement is in my post. its more management and stratergy than just writting. u need to build a team and maange them and manage budget finances, freelance writers. etc..etc.. and u need to know a bit of everything to co-ordinate your content team with the web devt team. smooth rough ages, mediate conflicts, etc..etc.. the list is long lah if u know what i mean

and u can keep your blog or hobby site open if its not a direct conflict of interest. when passion and hobby become work. u need another outlet ;p i understand that, got that problem before.

as i said before if u are keen bounce your cv to me, and i arrange an interview the 1st of a series of 2. one with me and 1 with the CEO/Managing director.
