The Crew Wants You!

59434790a2.png

 

Tip.It's Website Crew is currently looking for enthusiastic members to join the team! The Website Crew is a team of volunteers dedicated to the upkeep of the main help-site. If you've ever had an interest in being a part of it all, or think you have any skills that could make the site even better, you're looking in the right place! The Crew has many available positions each requiring very different skills and interests, there's something for everyone. Before applying, you should know a little bit about how the Crew works. It is important to not glamour a position up, as one may find the Crew was not how they expected it would be when they applied.

 

First off, Tip.It is non-profit organization - All staff positions here are entirely voluntary. Those putting their time into the site are working purely for the bettering of Tip.It. If accepted, you will be required to make somewhat of a commitment to put enough time into your position and in-game research whenever necessary. Crew Training and Crew Work requires time to accomplish and without this commitment, you will not be able to meet deadlines and work as a team.

 

Secondly, although web design, coding or mapping skills are an asset, lacking them will not stop us from welcoming you aboard. We can teach you what you need to know, so our only request is you have a willing attitude to learn whatever interests you. Being a good student will help you throughout your entire Crew career.

 

The Crew is very close with the rest of the Staff, and as a Crewbie you will have the opportunity to meet and work with all existing staff to help better the site. Overall, the Crew is definitely a worthy investment of time. Those who enjoy close communities and view the site as their hobby often enjoy their time being on Crew.

Seriously, do not be discouraged from applying if you don't have experience in image editing and coding. When I started on crew I had next to no knowledge of HTML and Photoshop, but the crew members were so helpful and patient with me, and now I'm quite comfortable with them. :thumbup:

 

Good luck to everyone!

Would a f2per be of any use to the crew? I don't know much coding, unfortunately.

Although it's best to be a member (since Jagex is such a [bleep] with updates trololol), being an f2per shouldn't be a wall to joining crew. Trust me on that ;)
