I am looking for two SMS managers to look after the operations of the SMS system. The job is easy, if I can do it, you can. Here are the requirements.
Hardware and software:
You don’t need to, but if you know word, excel, this is useful.
You should have a PC, which is ON 24 hours a day.
A phone server with a SIM chip will be provided. This is for SMS only. Connection between phone server and PC will be wireless Bluetooth, all will be provided. The SMS software will also be provided.
Some basic IT sense:
You must understand simple rules, eg:
If you do this, then this will happen.
If you don’t do this, then that will happen.
You should know how to import and export files eg .csv files.
You must make effort to read simple manual instructions.
You love designing sms games.
Qualities:
Need to be patient and run your own trials test, until you understand.
Don’t keep calling me, especially when I am travelling. I will go crazy.
People skills:
You must be familiar with the most of the visible members.
You should be willing to communicate with them via email, especially kakis groups and kakis organisers.
You need to visit the server, at least once a day, to ensure the phone server and the PC are still alive.
Expenses:
All SMS expenses will be absorbed by SilverHairsClub. You need to be prudent with SMS costs. No outside work except SilverHairsClub.
Expectations:
You have to maintain 100% confidentiality with all tel numbers and other contact information. This is extremely important, and breach of this will not be accepted.
This is hard work, but after a few months, the job will be easy. Unfortunately, as SilverHairsClub is free, your service will be free.
Term: There will be two SMS managers. Essentially to backup one another. The term will be two years.
I envisage the two appointments will start 1st July 2008 2009. And will start in two stages.
Stage 1: starting and maintaining the kakis groups. Jan – Mar
Stage 2: 3 mths to learn and trial the system. Apr – Jun.
If you think you would like to take this task, plse raise your hand.

2008 is coming to an end in a few days time, though exciting but surely we look forward to a Fabulous 2009!
Hi ChristinaCL #3,
I cannot explain why the year was wrong, altho I thought I read over it a few times, before the post was up. This is serious, I shall go for a body tune-up. I have amended it to 2009. Thank you.

Hi, I seem to fit the tech requirements. PC on 24 hours? Well, my pc at the office is on 9am to 5pm at least on weekdays. Evenings, public holidays, sat and sun, my pc at home is on as and when required. I can volunteer as a backup
I had also thot of volunteering for this but I am afraid that there will be interfacing problems. Because I have only ONE land telephone line in my home-office which is used for/as:
– a Fax line
– a Telephone line
– and an Internet broadband line
Will need another separate land telephone line just to look after the operations of the SMS system. Have a Desktop PC available and be on 24hrs/7days/52weeks until it stop working……
Hi JamesT, BobbyY, IvanL and JaneC,
Thank you for your offer to be our SMS Managers. I shall be in touch with you to provide background training in SMS systems, after the CNY. Likely 3 sessions.
Finally, I guess we will choose two persons; and they will start from 1 July 2009. Cheers and a Happy New Year.
I look forward to you getting to know other SilverHairs.
