Hiring Information
In this thread we're looking to hire the following:
Edited Soquili Colorists:
Individuals who are able to color full-sized pets, as well as edit them to our standards.
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. 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. 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. If you can't finish making 4 to 6 edited soquili within six months, then you're not going to do well here. We require our edited colorists to get out their finished quota within six months of rolling it!
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/freebies (depending on rotation) =OR= 2 breedings once every two months
Semi-Quarterly: 3 customs/freebies (depending on rotation) =OR= 2 breedings once every four months
Bi-Annually: 3 customs/freebies (depending on rotation) =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. 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.
13. Please do NOT use the templates for references in customs, for other shops, or for personal use.

Name: elfstar89
Availability? Semi-Quarterly
Do you have Instant Messenger? Y
Are you open to being hired as a familiar colorist or Color Only role? Y
Have you worked in other shops on Gaia or the B/C? If so, which ones? ...Hoo boy...this'll take a bit...Dream Dancers, Godar Dragons, Aerithe, Turn Out, Cein Isles, as well as a few that haven't/didn't get off the ground; I think there may've been a few others, but they were a looong time ago. oO
Can you list three references to either past Gaian employers, or people who will vouch for your behavior? Most of my employers and co-owners have moved on, buuut...Ice_Dragon_Demon and Heavenly Snow can vouch for my behavior, as can pippi18848
Why do you want to join Soquili? I stumbled across Soquili right around the time I joined the B/C, and I've hung around since, through thick and thin, getting to know folks, running plots, developing families. I realized a long time ago that I wanted to color here, but didn't feel that I was quite ready until about a year ago, when I just missed the opening round of the last hiring event. My style's still changing as I find new things I wanna improve, especially with my shading and lighting, but, at last, I feel that I'm just starting to be able to come close to compare to the phenomenal work of the Soquili colorists down the years.
Please post at least three samples using the template provided! All three must be edited!
