The staff team

Although, how does this help, Divey? You'll find out when you open applications. ;)

Because we're always on the look out for new staff members and are quite eager to find some new ones right now. I haven't really read to deeply into this thread and all the comments that have resided within it but from what I can tell there is a demand for staff members to be sorted out (as there has always been) and for new members to be brought in. We've recently let in a lot of Veterans as they've shown interest and of course they know what we're doing - That's not to say we don't want to see fresh faces. We really do. People see what they want to see in terms of indoctrination to the team. People assume staff members suggest fellow staff members but really that isn't the case. We're fortunate enough now to have a team who genuinely all gets on and from someone who has been here for multiple years I can disclose that it hasn't always been the case - So no wonder it may appear quite cliquey from an outside perspective. We don't want it to be that way and perhaps we need to be more conscious of that fact. But to say we simply only let in our friends is something not entirely fair and something I particularly keep notice of. There has been so many examples of people who were wild cards who weren't entirely known. NJPerry for starters, TheSiphon, I could go on. And that's not to say that staff members friends is a particular good thing, if you're friends with a staff member then perhaps you will have more light to your potential - However you've got to prove yourself to the plethora of other staff members as well. The team isn't one brute force, we all have different tastes in people and so of course we're not all going to be yes men to each others beliefs.
In conclusion, the point I was trying to make by my post was that everyone is a candidate, everybody. To become an actual GOOD candidate is to be someone who is mature and has a good knowledge of the rules. It's really that simple. If you want some tips and tricks, feel free to have conflicting opinions with staff - staff have conflicting opinions with fellow staff behind the scenes sometimes, but just be civil in your discussions.

Can i put my name forward for staff please? : ^ )
