Welcome to Soquili's Familiar Hiring Event!



We're looking to hire some talented colorists to keep this shop alive and active. We need people to paint some Familiars, from customs to breedings and pre-mades for events; from edited to unedited; from Mouse to Bison! The thing is, we can't do this without you.

Think you've got the chops to color, the drive to work regularly, and a desire to help out Soquili? Then this is the place for you!

We're also using different hiring templates -- so please make sure you grab the ones linked in this thread!




Round Two
Starts: November 11-18-15
Ends: November 29 @ 5pm EST



Please Note: We were hoping that we might give some of the final-hires familiars away in a raffle of some sort [following some possible QC/tweaking]. With this in mind, please do NOT make customs or quest familiars. You can if you want and don't mind this possibility but please note that these might very well go to customer homes!

JUST ONE MORE NOTE! Please do NOT use the templates for references in customs, for other shops, or for personal use. Once the hiring event is over, please refrain from using the templates for personal use, or for references in this shop (or other shops). Thanks!

Hiring Information

In this thread we're looking to hire the following:

Edited Familiars Colorists:
Individuals who are able to color Familiars pets, as well as edit them to our standards.

Unedited Familiar Colorists:
Individuals who are able to color Familiars pets, but will NOT be allowed to edit them unless given permission from Mindsend and Uta. This is a color-only position.

We do have a few rules and notes we'd like you to consider, just so you know what you're signing up for, and what we, on staff, expect.

1. Please be able to take constructive criticism. Until you're a Senior colorist, your work will have to go through group Quality Control. If you take customs, the customer might ask for tweaks, changes, or revisions to work you are proud of. We will never be cruel, but criticism is going to happen and if you can't handle the feedback, this shop will not be a good fit for you.

2. Please be active and available. It does us no good to hire someone full time, who can only handle part-time or occasional work. Please be honest with us if your schedules get too crazy and you need to change your availability. Also, please don't try out if you really don't think you're going to be around to color for us for more than a month or two. While we understand RL happens, and unexpected surprises can pull you away, to get hired, only to quit or simply go MIA (and still be active in other shops) is frustrating for staff and fellow customers alike.

3. Please remember, this is a customer service position. You will be dealing with customers, especially if you take customs, as well as dealing with your fellow staff members. A friendly personality, and being an ambassador to the shop are traits we're looking for. Check your drama at the door and remember to be civil, regardless how you feel about people. We get that some people just don't click, or get along, and maybe you don't like fellow staff members. All that said, we are all volunteering our time here and you will be expected to deal with people you don't like civilly. We're a team, so please, keep the drama private.


Availability

We're looking to hire for any of the following availability:

Full-Time: 3 customs =OR= 2 breedings once every two months

Semi-Quarterly: 3 customs =OR= 2 breedings once every four months

Bi-Annually: 3 customs =OR= 2 breedings once every six months

You can always do more than your hired availability, but please note that you need to let Mindsend and Uta know if that availability lessens. If you can't get us your quota, you might risk being let go. You can always do more than the above per quota, but you should not do less.


Quote:

We will only be hiring the following levels to start:

Rookie This is where all of our colorists start. They are allowed to create pets for freebies, flaffles, and mockbreedings. After you complete a successful Wishing Star Event, with Mindsend and Uta's approval, you can then begin to take on customer Breedings and Customs.

Promotions up the rank will happen as you continue to stay active in the shop and produce quality work.


Perks and Payment
So the big question is, what do you get out of this? Not only do you get to join and be part of a pretty awesome staff, but your efforts help keep the B/C community (and this shop in particular) thriving! Additionally, working with all this talent should allow your own color and edit techniques room to grow!

When it comes to payment, you get to keep 100% of breeding and custom pay. You also get to keep 100% of credit paid bribes. You get to keep 90% of personal auctions, personal paid raffles, personal breeding bribes, and 90% of most other 'big payout' events. The reason we take a cut is so we have gold to be able to pay and reward our non-colorist staff.

Additional perks include gaining monthly credits, which you can cash in for pets for yourself or others.

Rules for Entry


1. Please read this entire front page before you enter!
2. If you have questions or concerns, please PM them to Mindsend or Uta.
3. Please only use your own art in all categories! If we catch you using art you did not color or work on, or stealing others art, you will be punished severely. We have a 0-tolerance for art thieves. Besides, we want to see what you can do, not what someone else can.
4. If you do edits, please remember your style is going to have to match our templates. This is not to say you cannot have your individual touch, as every colorist does, but understand, you might be asked to change a style to be more fitting for the lines we have.
5. Please fill out the form in its entirety.
6. If we have a hard cut-off date or deadline, please follow it. You might be DQ'd if you miss it, even by just a few minutes.
7. We will perform background checks on potential hires and cross-check references.
8. You do NOT have to have worked in a B/C shop before, or a previous colorist, to enter.
9. We understand sometimes people don't get along, and mistakes have been made in the past. We will not hold past mistakes against you, but do understand, if you have a drama-filled background, or we get many complaints from previous employers, this might dampen your chances of being hired.
10. We at Soquili do not need to explain why we choose the hires we do, or justify why we did not hire someone. We do not have to give details on why one was not picked. Please note, that even if you are not hired now, this does not mean you shouldn't try again during future hire events.
11. We will have various rounds, and people will advance accordingly. This process will take a few weeks. Please understand there will be deadlines, and people who miss them, will be DQ'd.
12. Please be aware you're going to need Photoshop, or some sort of photoediting program to color for soquili. If your program doesn't handle the lines, file type, or open up folders and layers, this might not be the best choice. You'll also want AIM so we can get a hold of you outside of Gaia/PM.

The Rounds

Round One
Starts: November 4th now open
Ends: November 17th 7pm EST

If you are interested in trying out to become a Familiar colorist, please fill out the following to the best of your ability! Please use the proper heading and post at least three samples!


The Sample Template can be found here:

Zip File


This time we're using Actual Familiar templates (Original Raccoon, Ferret, and the Hummingbird/Songbird/Quetzal template)! Please note that if opening folders is going to be a challenge, we're sorry, but we don't have any non-foldered templates. Practically all soquili templates have folders, so if you can't open them, then this job probably isn't for you.

Edited colorists, please edit as you wish -- the items are optional.
Unedited colorists, feel free to use the stock edits and items as you wish.

Please use the following code to enter for Round One:
