EDIT: This list no longer being updated! Please refer to http://twitterponies.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Mlp_NewTwilight/Job_Fair,_Continued for the current list.
I didn't realize just how excited everypony would be for the CastleBrary Job Fair! I'm pleased and gratified, but let's face it, I'm never going to remember everypony who wants to be involved unless I write it all down. So... time for some checklists!
You can never have too many checklists.
When and Where[]
The CastleBrary Job Fair takes place at the CastleBrary on Thursday, April 16th, starting at 8:30 p.m. EDT (Equestrian Daylight Time).
Types of Positions[]
There are two types of positions, which are Unique Positions and General Staff. The Unique Positions are things where we only really need one pony for a particular job (such as Decorator), or you are in charge of several other ponies (such as Captain of the Guard). General Staff are positions where there are several ponies doing that kind of work, such as Guardponies, Domestic Staff, etc.
There are probably more positions than I have listed here– this is just to get us started. I'll be editing this post as we go until we get a final list of "official" Castle staff.
Successful Applicants[]
To have the best chance of getting a particular position, here are some suggestions:
- Follow the TwitterPonies Guidelines ! This one is pretty straightforward. Interacting with Twilight regularly is likely to be a high-profile sort of role and the closer you adhere to our founding principles the more trust you will earn. Please follow @mlp_Mod and have a TwitterPonies-style account ( @mlp_Ponyname ). If you have a bio and a TwitterPonies Wiki page, so much the better!
- Interact with Twilight regularly, without being pushy. It's the best way for me to get to know you, and to know you are dependable in a pinch.
- Have interests and RP goals of your own. Don't plan to spend every day coming to Twilight and asking her what to do with yourself– choosing a position at the Castle means you have at least a vague idea of what that position should entail and will be able to use it to come up with scenes for yourself.
- Be available when Twilight calls for help! I don't mean monitoring your feed 24/7 and putting your real life on hold, I just mean that as time goes on, the players who I see more often are most likely to be the ones I think of when we're deep in a scene and I need a "go-to" someone off the top of my head.
