Help Squad is recruiting!
Help Squad Recruitment

As of now, the Help Squad is currently looking to pick up some new squaddies.
~
The life of a Help Squad is an easy one; all you have to do is assist newer players on the forum and ingame, as well as sit around in #support and answer questions. Easy enough, right?


What specifically will I be doing?

The Help Squad are a group of forum assistants that specialize in the general assistance and monitoring of the Help forums; they also play a relevant role in server-sitting, FAQ drafting/cleaning, and more. Your general work consists of monitoring the Help section, server-sitting in beginner rooms, and other miscellaneous projects.

SITTING IN BEGINNER SERVERS AND #SUPPORT IS MANDATORY; FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THESE WILL BE PROVIDED UPON ACCEPTANCE.

Be aware that the position may require a fair portion of your time, as the duties of the Help Squad can easily require several hours of scattered work on a daily basis.
There's no particular application format, however explaining to us how you would improve the community with your inclusion into HS wouldn't be a bad idea. Please include your GMT somewhere in your application too.


Where do I send my application?

All applications are to be submitted to either Fear or a member of the Help Squad, please DO NOT POST YOUR APPLICATIONS HERE.

After you have sent in your application and the recruitment drive is announced closed, keep in mind that it may be a fair amount of time before all applications we have selected are accepted. Harassing us about the status of your application is not advised. Applications that have been accepted will receive a PM stating so, and will receive instructions on what to do from this point forward as a member.

The drive will end three weeks after the creation of this thread.


~~~

If you have any general questions, please post them in this thread. A Help Squad member or a staff member that works relatively closely with the Help Squad will make sure to answer your question.
What is the expected size of this intake?

I'd assume it all depends on work load. If they have lots of work that needs to be done, then the expected intake would probable be a little bit up there.

from what i've seen in the past from recruitment drives, it depends on the amount of decent applicants. if there aren't any, they won't take anyone
Just for making sure, if I want to apply I have to pm Fear or HS members?

Also, is there any requirements to apply, like general knowledge of how some things works? I feel like volunteering to help but I'm still sort of a

ex-hs speaking, i'm sure someone who's currently staff can give a better answer:

general game and forum knowledge is pretty much essential, helps out in many places such as #support, tech support, beginner sanctuary and when talking to beginners

some ingame activity is nice so you can sit in the beginner servers, obviously forum activity since 80% of the job would be in forum/irc (so an irc client is good too), also a small amount of coding experience for FAQ stuff

We're looking for people who are available for server sitting more than ever now, forums are usually covered.
What surge said is mainly right, you do need a bit of technical knowledge, but a good attitude, alot of patience, and a fair bit of time will help more in the long run. We're definitely looking for people who have time on their hands and are willing to lend some help to beginners. Server sitting is a big part of what we do here though!
I'm worried about being more a problem than a help. But I still can do this sort of things even not being part of HS so I think it's ok
Maybe I can help Help Squad or something close to that.

^ Bands is correct, we'll accept however many we feel we need.

Yes, you have to send your app to any member of the HS, that includes Fear.

You should also have at least a decent amount of forum and ingame knowledge before applying.
