Update: Thanks to those who have applied. No more applications, thanks!

It’s been 2 years since I last did a recruitment/training campaign of new timers, and now the number of active timers have fallen.

So if you are thinking of getting into fansubbing, but have no real experience, here is a good opportunity.

If you would like to learn how to time, you should satisfy the following conditions.

• A lot of patience. Timing can be very monotonous and tedious.
• Speak coherent English. If we can’t communicate with you properly, we can’t teach you.
• Ability to take initiative. If you have nothing to do, ask me for something to work on. Don’t just sit there waiting.
• Have a lot of free time. If you are only available for two days a week, this gig is not suitable for you. While I don’t expect you to be online 24/7, I would expect you to be around for a couple of hours at least 4 or 5 days a week.
• Able to idle on IRC when you are online. If you can idle 24/7, then all the better.
• Be talkative on IRC! Don’t just idle there and not say anything. We’re all friendly and love to chat.

No experience required. You will be taught everything. I am looking for people all over the world.

Please email me with a little info about yourself, (including your timezone and motivation for joining), then join #doki-recruits if you are interested. If you don’t know how to use IRC, use this, and someone will teach you to get a proper IRC client like chatzilla or mirc later.
