Job Description

As you may know, we have a Packrat List on SunnyNeo. On this page we have listed 1,000 cheap items a person can buy to obtain the avatar.

For this page, we are looking for someone to regularly replace items on the list with new cheaper items. Over time, some items may go up in price, while other items go down in price a lot, because of a giveaway on Neopets for instance.

We are looking for a person who is well informed about special activities on Neopets, such as giveaways, special keyquest items that you can win, tarla'd items etc. This way, the person will have an easier time knowing which items have become cheap.

Furthermore, the person who would be doing this task should enjoy looking up items on the shop wizard. Since you don't just have to add new items, you also need to remove items that have gone up in price, this means you will also need to regularly do a check on the items currently on the list.

We expect the list to be updated with new cheap items regularly. This means you have to think of a system that works easily for you. Think of setting up an excel sheet with the 1,000 items on the list for instance. For every item, you could add the price at that time (and sort on price). Then when a new item is given away, you can see which items where the most expensive when you last checked the list and check to see which one needs removing. Naturally, this excel sheet would have to be updated with the prices regularly, like every few months.

Knowledge of HTML or CSS is not necessary.



Requirements

The person we are looking for must meet the following qualifications.

  • You enjoy looking up prices of items on the shop wizard. This will be the majority of your task.

  • You keep an eye on the news, new events, new items, tarla, keyquest. Anything relevant, you know about it.

  • You have enough time to be able to update the complete list of items every few months.

  • You are able to create a system which you can use to quickly decide which expensive item to replace with a cheaper item.

  • You are able to add new cheap items to the database within a few days after release.

  • You plan on doing this job for quite a long time. We are not looking for people who will quit after a month. Please only apply if you're sure you will enjoy this job.

  • You do not work for another Neopets related website.

Preferences

Below you can see a list of our preferences. You do not need to meet these preferences, but it's a big bonus if you do. If you don't meet our preferences you can still apply, after all, they're preferences, not requirements.

  • You are 15 years or older.

  • You have Skype/Windows Live Messenger.

  • You can join our staff guild on your main account. In the guild we chat about the site and we prefer it if you can actively take part in these discussions. Checking to see what's going on once a month on a side account won't be sufficient.
