Until now, V Planet has not offered an
organized way of signing up new members to join it's staff of QB journalists
and gaming junkies. But as this QB site continues to grow, demand for more
workpower to keep up with constant updates has become a necessity. Coincidentally,
interest has recently been shown by many of our readers for job opportunities
pertaining to V Planet. In order to alleviate the situation, we've come
up with a list of jobs in V Planet that we want filled. We encourage anyone
who has the qualifications to check out these job openings in V Planet,
to make sure that if you're interested, you'll find the job that suits
you best.
Benefits
Now, since V Planet is a non-profit QB
magazine, you will not receive a salary for working in V Planet. But what
you will receive is a pretty solid reader base of QB programmers that continues
to grow. You will have access to VPlanet's main mailbox too, so you'll
be able to discuss the future of V Planet there. Also, we're always looking
to expand. So if we do someday expand into a profitable endeavor, you will
be among the first in our priority list to not only receive compensation
for your work here, but to receive first-priority for paying jobs as well!

How to Apply |
| V Planet Editor/Webmaster
(Nekrophidius) |
Basically Nekrophidius
has the last say-so with everything that happens with V Planet. Any ideas
and reviews have to be cleared by him before the article goes in print.
Nekrophidius is also in charge of the monthly editorial. |
N/A |
| V Planet Managing
Editor (Vance Velez) |
If a job isn't filled,then
it's Vance's job to "manage" it by either passing the job to the appropriate
staff member or finishing the job himself. A producer of sorts, the Managing
Editor works with the Editor and the rest of the V Planet staff to make
sure the web site is in synch. |
N/A |
| Entertainment
Writer (Dusty Goehring) |
Even since V Planet
launched, one of our more unique and off-topic features of the usually
100% QuickBasic Game Review website is the Entertainment Section, offering
a slice of pop culture by highlighting the Internet's best Celebrity sites.It's
the Entertainment Writer's job to scour the net every month in searchof
Hollywood and the industry's biggest stars and starlets, so those dedicated
web sites can be enamored on our Entertainment page. |

No website could
ever have enough Web Designers. It's the Web Designing team's job to suggest
new looks for the site as the months go by, to make sure that the look
of V Planet is always in style. Then Web Designers use their knowledge
of Internet tools to help develop those changes, including the project
of switching V Planet to a fully php-based website. A highly technical
job that in particular looks good on a resume. |
N/A |
| Graphics Designer
(Toonski84) |
A lot of site trafficis
generated not by the web content, but by the presentation of that content.It's
the Graphics Designer's job to continuously create new styles, helpingdetermine
the direction of site layout as well as providing new graphicsto enhance
and modernize the feel of V Planet. |

You may not noticethis,but
V Planet is getting mighty big and more difficult to update. It is the
