Discord Server Making A Staff Application Guide And Info

This tutorial explains how to create a staff applicant. This is the unofficial staff guide to AYS. It is not only for AYS Applications, but also for other server applications.

Staff Positions

These are the staff positions that you would usually see in an everyday server. These positions/roles may not be the only ones available to servers. Some applications might ask you "What job are you applying for?" and may include a list such as this:

- Helper - Moderator - Administrator - Manager (Management) Common Application Questions - Tips

These types of questions are common to all applications. Make sure that you answer these questions clearly and not in a messy way. Discord servers

NOTE: Servers require that you are at least 13 years old or 14 to become a staff member. This guide is intended for everyone.

What is your experience with moderation? On this question (if you do have experience) What kind of experience do you have and what kind of server was it; was it a Minecraft Server, a Discord server? While it doesn't matter, telling them is important and something you should include when applying. Why do you think that you would be a good fit for this job: They are asking you why you might be a good candidate for the job you are applying for. Are you able to manage situations professionally, and can you be a good moderator? Are you familiar with the job you are applying for? Let them know the detail. Why would a staff member of [server name] interest you?: This is a straightforward question. Here are some tips for answering this question. If they are looking for details on this question, you should tell them everything that you know about moderation. Even if you are not a well-experienced staff member, try to give them as much information as possible. Do you prefer working with a team or just yourself? The greater your chances of acceptance, the more detailed you can be. Certain Questions - Application thoughts

These are some questions you might want to ask yourself: Why are they asking me that? What should I say? Do I lie? Here are some reasons that they ask the following questions and what to do when you witness them.

Why are they asking for my age? The reason they are asking for your age in your application is because when members are looking for staff on their server, they are expecting a level of maturity coming from the applicant. They won't search for you and ask you for your age (which is basically impossible). They are simply checking to see if they have the right age. Why do they ask for my email address? This is not a question people often ask, but it is. Some servers require that you include your email address in an application. This is usually found in Administrator or Management applications. This is so that they can communicate with you not only on discord/Teamspeak/skype but through email. Some servers require me to have a microphone, is this normal? Yes, this is totally normal for applications to require a microphone. This is so the application can communicate more easily during interviews or other staff meetings. While some servers might not require this, it's a good idea to have one in case of an emergency and need to communicate by voice. Do's and don'ts when creating an Application

There are multiple things you should not include/do in your application and include in your application. Here are some things you should NOT include in your application.

Never say "Because of my excellence" or "Because of my staff skills". They want to know why you are a good role model or staff member. Make sure you are aware of your grammar. While it isn't a problem to have a few spelling and grammar mistakes in your application, it is important that you use good grammar throughout your application. They are not going to examine your application to see if it has good grammar and spelling. Instead, they will be looking at it as though you are professional and are aware of grammar. Always include detail in your application: This is one of the most important Do's for your application. It is important to include detail in the most important parts. They want to see the effort and detail you put into your application. Show them that you are really determined to be a staff member on the server by providing them the best detail as possible. Do not lie about your application. Either way, if your making an application or not, lying is not okay. Be honest with your application. For example, if you're asking for your birthday month/year, give them your birthday month/year so they will know your will age. You will be caught if you lie if you answer this question. Take your time in your application: Take all the time that you need in your application, never rush when you're making it. Rushing can cause grammar and spelling mistakes without you even realizing. You will be more focused and determined to complete the application if you take your time. Rushing is basically saying "I want them to read my application so I can get accepted right away". So make sure to put your time in your application, don't speed and try to get it done fast just because you think it might get recognized first. We appreciate you taking the time to read this guide.
