Name: Josh O'Harney
Age: 17
Available: 20+ Hours a week (Including Saturday and Sunday)
Resume: http://www.studio16.org/Resume/resume.html
Positions Desired(Qualified For):
eMarket:
I've had three semesters of classes devoted to Marketing. A basic marketing class my eleventh grade year, a class called "Marketing Media and Technology", which covers websites and different methods of distributing the word and goods and services such as Powerpoint, Brochures, etc etc. Also, I've had E-Commerce, which is much of what the Marketing and Marketing Media and Technology classes were, but simply furthered my knowledge of all areas. -- I am also a member of DECA, a marketing 'club' that competes at district, state, and national levels. I obtained proficiency at district and plan to go to State level in February. This is my second year in DECA, I made it to state level last year also, but we didn't get to go due to snow and ice.
I plan to go to college next year for a major in business(e-business), and I think this position on the forums would give me a better understanding of the market, as well as some good experience.
Articles, Reviews, Interviews
[*]Editor
[*]Writer
[*]Reviewer
[*]Interviewer
Editor:
Any of these positions I think would be great. But the Editor position I feel I am very qualified for, with the exception of recommendations by fellow forumers, and length of time being a member. As I've only been a member of these forums for a short while, but have been more than active within the community for a year and a half+.
I have great proofreading skills that I have developed from my last three years in highschool, after taking multiple honors courses in English and getting high marks in each. Next semester I am to enroll into English IV AP, which is the most advanced Honors class that my school offers. With GPA rating instead of a scale from 1-4, is 1-6. A $300 course which offers college credit if the final at the end of the semester is passed with a sufficient enough grade.
Anyways, I think that I'm fit to be a good leader; meeting deadlines and getting things done are two things that I find myself, at least, to be exceptionable at, and have to be for the level of classes in which I am enrolled.
I'm always online, from the time I get home from school until I go to bed normally, so around a good 7 hours a day.
Writer:
I think I have good English skills and a good comprehension of the english language , with good enough grammar to be a good writer.
I think this would be the field I would most excel at, as I live for writing about things that I love. And graphic art is my passion. I'm also always writing out rants and expressing my opinions on many different topics. -- Also, finding new material is a great thing; I do this now, even though not an established member of the forums, just so I can heighten my own intelligence and deadlines are never a problem, because I'm used to them.
Interviewer:
I love meeting new people, and talking with them. The area I think I would second most qualify in would have to be this one. I've already got tons of questions that I would ask nearly any of the website designers of the community, but never get a chance. Like roubouk, for instance, and the guys from Spoono. I look up to all the guys who run the websites around here.
One interview a month would be absolutely no problem. If anything, I think it would probably be too few! But I suppose that's always negotiable, and I'm sure the members wouldn't mind having more than one a month to read. =P I plan to offer interviews on my own website when it's released, and I think this position here would help out a lot.
----------------
All in all, I think those are the positions I would most qualify for. Unlike a lot of people who want to do this just because they think it's cool to be more of a headfigure in the community, I actually think I could make this place better as a community. Maybe it sounds a little wacko, or conceited, but it's true. It would better me as a person, and I think it would be a great opportunity that I wouldn't pass up if I was given the chance.
Thanks for reading all this
