    Hello! This post will contain all the information you need to properly apply for staff on the LiTHiA Network! Please note that we take this process very seriously, so please read this post carefully and abide by it closely. If you have any further questions regarding the application process, feel free to create a post in either the Community Help or Staff Help forums.

    This post is detailed. One important aspect of leadership is attention to detail. Therefore, please be sure that you are following these guidelines. Name your thread appropriately, use proper grammar, elaborate in your responses, and act professional.

    Applications to the Network have two phases: Application Phase and Interview Phase. This post will provide an outline for the Application Phase, as well as inform you of the requirements necessary to proceed with the process.

    Applicant Requirements:
    • You must be at least 14 years old to apply.
    • You must have access to Discord with a working microphone.
    • You must have played on the server for at least one week.
    Unfortunately, any applicant who does not meet these requirements must be instantly denied.

    In addition to these requirements, we expect a level of professionalism in our applicants. Here are some guidelines to follow when creating your application:

    • Please take your time with your application. Again, we take this process seriously, so we expect that every applicant will be slow and deliberate with their application. Please carefully plan and type your responses to the application questions. Remember that if your application is denied, you will not be able to re-apply for two weeks.

    • Please be honest. We understand that nobody is perfect. Our application process involves a holistic evaluation of your character, and that includes honesty. If we find out that you lied or attempted to cover up some important information in order to "make your chances better", we will instantly deny your application. There is nothing wrong in admitting one's faults.

    Be yourself. We don't pick players, we pick people. In our holistic approach to staff selection, we're working to form a team that can work well together and achieve common goals. Let us see who you are as a person, i.e. show us your personality, your interests, etc.

    After the application phase, You will be required to participate in a Discord interview to further evaluate your aptitude for the role.

    In order to apply for staff, you must create a thread in this forum, with a title in the following format:
    [MC-USERNAME] Helper Application

    Below is a template for you to paste into your thread. Some questions require essay-length responses. These questions are marked with a star (*). Applications with insufficient detail will be denied. Please take your time, and proofread your responses before submitting. Good luck!

    Final Note -
    Please understand that:

    • All submissions are final, and that you should review your application for any errors in grammar or content.

    • You will be notified through your thread if your application is approved or declined.

    • Mentioning your application to staff, or sharing your responses with anyone, is not permitted, and will result in instant denial of your application, or removal from staff.

    • Even if you are not accepted, you are responsible for your attitude, and you should continue to be a positive and helpful influence on others.

    • If your application is accepted, you should promptly respond to your thread in order to schedule your application interview at an appropriate time. Your failure to do so could delay or jeopardize your promotion to Helper.
