Right now we're looking for staff, but this is not an advertisement - we recruit only from our playerbase. However, this staffing round (I think we take on new folks every 6 months or so), someone suggested having people actually go through an application process.
I'm trying it, and here are the questions we came up with:
1. Why do you want to be on staff?
2. How much time do you think you will be contributing in a normal week? Do you have time constraints that will affect when you are online, or any life-changing events that will remove your ability to log on.
3. What do you think you will bring to the game? What areas of expertise, both in-game and out, do you have? What would you like to work on?
4. What are your expectations for being a staff member? How do you think being on staff would affect the way you play as well as the way you interact with players?
5. What three things would you change about the game?
6. How would you describe yourself in online interactions?
7. Do you work well with other people? How thick-skinned are you? Can you take feedback without feeling defensive?
8. What's your mud experience like? What other games have you played? Have you worked as a staff member on any game before?
9. What do you think the most important thing you've brought to game right now?
10. What's your favorite feature of the game, and why?
Does anyone else use a process like this? Has it worked for you? Are there other questions that should be asked?
