| Webmaster |
|
A webmaster is someone who constantly works on the site in
every aspect available. This means doing the the normal work,
such as adding new gaming sections or updating the home page.
But that is only the main part, or about 80% of the job. The
work that this position also includes is to do all the work
that can be applied for. Although this may seem like a lot, it
is not, because that is the kind of stuff you do when you just
happen to make a contact, or remember to do it. So the
position of webmaster is a pretty general job here at Tempest
Tek. You have the tasks of all the positions, but do not have
so much pressure on you to do a specific one.
|
| News Updater |
| A News Updater is a highly active online
person. They update news on the site when they are asked
to or when they see some news that they deem important
enough to post. This position is probably one of the
easiest jobs, especially if you are online a lot, but
there is a lot of pressure on the person to keep the
news fresh for the populace. Although this job is also
covered by the webmaster position, it is still an
important one, and vital to the site.
|
| Graphics
Designer |
| A Graphic Designer is someone
who is an avid, preferably a professional (or close),
user of graphic design programs such as Photoshop,
Illustrator, Fireworks, Paintshop Pro, etc. Also, this
person should be partially active, or active enough to
be able to receive commissions from the crew at Tempest
Tek. This job is a pretty tough one, unless you are very
efficient and proficient with these types of programs.
This is only a job for the willing, and is not to be
taken lightly. This is the one position in which a lot
of pressure is put upon the person in this position.
Although I would say that this position is a hard one,
it is a very good ob to spread/advertise your work and
spread your presence through the net, which is an added
bonus.
|
| Communication Officer |
| A
Communication Officer is someone who has a vast network
of contacts over the internet. This allows for that
person to be involved in such things as knowing the
times for certain meetings, or the plan for a certain
time. Basically,
|
| Site Promoter |
|
|
| Animation Producer |
|
|
| Tech
Engineer |
| A
tech engineer has a very behind-the-scenes job but is
one of great value. They fix bugs, correct HTML errors,
and generally keeps the site running the way it is
supposed to. An extensive knowledge of HTML, Java,
and other scripting languages are definitely a plus. If
these skills aren't available, then a program that
checks for problems will suffice. Overall, the tech
engineer is what keeps Tempest Tek going.
