Best Posts in Thread: Helper Application from Nacho

Hey nacho, it's really cool to see you applying and taking an interest in giving back to the community. From what I've seen of you in game, you're a nice person who sometimes helps out, but there's also an overwhelming sense of immaturity. I am very glad that you do address this in your weakness section of the app, however I do think this is something you need to improve on before I can fully be confident giving you a +1. Becoming mature is something that while you do need to work at, will come with age. Right now, although there have been some incredible younger staff, I believe you aren't currently ready for the position.

In terms of the actual application, I think there are some parts that are well written, and other that I think you can improve on. I'll give you a break down of your app so if you are indeed denied this time. and you chose to reapply in the future, you can have some sort of reference.

Overall, your intro was probably the best written part of the app. You gave me a very good sense of who you were, and made me actually want to keep reading the rest. The only improvements I could think to make would be the sentence structure, but overall well written.

I would have liked you to go a little further in depth as to each point here. My personal opinion is that it's better to have 2 really really strong points, rather than a lot of weaker ones. One way for you to make this section a lot better is to provide real examples that have happened to you before. This not only gives the reader a little more insight into how you operate in certain situations, but gives you a lot of credibility.

I think you addressed each weakness well, I do have a few things to say about this though.
When it comes to being immature, I think you're 100% correct in saying that a person who is never immature is boring. However, learning the time and place where you need to be mature is very important, and that's part of maturity in general. You will learn this as you get older, it's just a matter of time.
Understanding how to address people in a way that doesn't come off as rude is an important skill to have when you're trying to make a point. It's ok to be very opinionated, but communicating those opinions in a way that makes others want to listen is where I think you could improve.
I think you're enthusiastic about this position, so I don't believe it would impact you too much. I am however glad you mentioned this one.

I think this is an important thing to do that a lot of people forget to think of. I'm glad you took the time to go back and re-read everything so you could actually get a good understanding of where you needed improvement, and it's clearly payed off.

Once again, I'm a -1 for now, but I believe that with age you will make a great staff member one day. Good luck!
