This is gonna be a repeat of last week’s update because we still BADLY need to fill these positions or we might fall behind! Please, please, help spread this around. It MAY be a possibility that we might use some of the money we’ve saved up to make one of these positions a contract position, but we’re hesitant to do that, we’re looking for someone who’s as passionate about this project as we are, so if the only reason you’re coming into this is for money then we need to talk more! Otherwise for now, these are like internship positions and unpaid. Rest assured, no one here at GeeksNGamers is being paid a dime, yet. We don’t even have money to get some of the things we really need to speed up this project!

Expert grasp of English, knows that alot is not a word, the difference between there, their, and they’re, etc. Willingness to possibly eventually take over the role of Manager (I’ll eventually be too busy to head up this part). Creativity to seek out new outlets and use each medium to greatest effect and potential. MUST BE FRIENDLY, OPEN, and somewhat a Jack/Jill of All Trades.

We got a few more positions we need to fill but I’ll have to think up the job descriptions for them a little better before I post. IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN ANY OF THESE POSITIONS AND HAVE THE SKILL SET PLEASE SEND A RESUME (<— don’t be shy, it’s not nearly important to us as you think, but from now on I’m going to say it’s required) to DEVS at GEEKSNGAMERS dot COM.
