Update on the “Help Wanted” Entry
A quick follow up to my Help Wanted entry a few weeks ago: I got many applicants to the position. I was very excited to see readers of S60 blogs eager to join our team and eager to help engage our readers further. Many of you submitted excellent resumes.
In the end, I split the position into two part time positions, one for Ricky Cadden and one for Stefan Constantinescu. Most of you know Ricky from Symbian Guru, and most of you know Stefan from RingNokia and IntoMobile. (In fact, it seems from my email that most of you already know that both have been hired. I try to get onto this blogging thing but blogging already seems old-fashioned, news traveled via jaiku and various other forums eons ago.)
I hope that all who applied will continue to stay engaged– who knows what the future will bring. Ricky and Stefan had a leg up, in a way: I had previously had the good fortune of meeting Ricky at the “Evening with S60″ in Chicago and Stefan at the “Evening with S60″ in New York. Going forward, bureaucratic gods willing (sometimes getting even small things done in a big company can take weeks or months), Ricky and Stefan will be working directly with S60 Ambassadors through the “Share on Ovi” campaign. They’ve already been a tremendous help behind the scenes, bringing their sense of what consumers like/want as well as broader strategic sense of what the competitive situation is for S60.
Here’s Stefan, after hearing he made the team: (Thanks to Carol from the S60 Multimedia blog for capturing the moment).
Here’s Ricky, on any given Friday:
Congratulations guys!
But I suggest more caffiene for Stefan, and less for Ricky.
PS: the red eyes suit you, Stefan.
