Forum:How long does a hiring application take to be completed

I sent my Hiring Application for the post of Gaming Content Intern to hiring@wikia-inc.com. a week ago, last friday and I still haven't received the reply. Is there something wrong with the Wikia email? Please help. Do you know someone I can contact about Hiring? Arceus The God of Pokemon 05:56, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * It most likely works like all other jobs, if you didn't get hired, they aren't going to contact you. You only hear from them if they hire you.--


 * Nope, my friend didn't get hired and they sent him a reply, "Sorry. You aren't the eligible candidate." or smthing. Arceus The God of Pokemon 06:10, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Very few places do that. I have turned in 10 applications in the past month and haven't heard from them. Most places do not call if they aren't hiring you.--


 * wikia@hiring-inc.com? lol, it should be hiring@wikia-inc.com --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 08:46, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I laughed out loud for like a minute :P. -- Zombie talk • blog 09:39, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Arceus be patient. Being impatient can cost you the hiring. Plus "Patience pays".


 * Yea, sorry. Mispelled. But I sent it to hiring@wikia-inc.com, but does it take 1 week to hire someone? The Community Support sends the reply in 1 day. Arceus The God of Pokemon 14:01, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

(Unindent) You misspelled it again :P. Community Support and Hiring are 2 completely different things. Not only different people, but also different ways they handle the incoming requests. And it is actually likely they won't send you anything back if you're not hired, that's what happens in the real world I'm afraid. - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 14:12, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but it does send you back. It sent my friend. :) Arceus The God of Pokemon 14:54, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * That means nothing. Even if someone else gets a reply, that still doesn't mean you'll get one. Also, evaluating a Hiring application does take quite some time, especially if there are many candidates for the position. - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 14:56, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree with Tj. It is not that you won't get a reply, it's you "may" not get a reply.


 * Never mind, I sent another application for German Entertainment Content Editor. :D Arceus The God of Pokemon 15:16, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sprechen Sie Deutsch?--


 * Ähm.. ist das wirklich so?.. you don't speak German, thus I cannot follow up with you on that (please don't apply to positions if you know that you don't speak that language). Also, be patient - it took 2 years for me to become part of Wikia Staff and some hard work until there as a volunteer. I once applied to an English position as well, and it took about two weeks until I got an response. Marc-Philipp   (Talk)  19:59, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok, Mr. Marc-Philip... but who cares if I can't speak German? I'll just use Google translate! :D Silver.png I am Arceus, the God of Pokemon!!  Red.png 11:48, June 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Uh... that won't work. Google Translate often gives irregular translations. Mr. Grille  (talk page) 11:59, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

(Unindent) @Arceus: Seriously? Wikia is a professional business, I doubt they'd ever choose a German Content manager that has to use google translate. Not to say that Google translate will most likely not always be available whenever you work. Why are you applying for any job just to have a job? Do you need money badly? Please don't underestimate these jobs. You are payed for them, so that means it'll be hard work. Don't do it just for the staff status, that won't end well. - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 12:12, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
