Do you have a working Microphone?

Yep!

Why do you want to become Staff on AwakenMC?

Awaken seems like a very well-set and developed server that I think I can help but also gain some good experience! I’ve done quite a bit of Minecraft work and actively am, and I’d love to join a project that is well committed and developed!

The community seems great and I agree with the morals of the upcoming mode to specifically not use botted player counts! I've worked for a decent amount of servers who do this and it creates not only a bad environment for players who know that "hey some of these players are fake" but also for staff who have to wonder about it.

The upcoming Skyblock game mode lines up with my past experience as a Sr. Mod and developer on a decently popular server entitled ExodusMC that, at the time, was specifically focused on their Skyblock. 

However, ultimately I think the server in general a lines with what I want to join as a staff member! I'm sure you have seen this as the forum has quite a few applications already, but it's rare you find a decent unique server now-a-days and forums and such. Many servers end either abandoned or specifically set up for the Owners to make profit. Both of which don't specifically line up with my morals and what I'd like to work on! The community is quite wholesome from those I've interacted with and from what I've read about what the plans are with the server I'm super interested in joining the project and helping as best I can!

What is your timezone? 

CST - UTC−06:00

How long have you been playing on Awaken?

I just found Awaken; however, I’d like to add I have a significant amount of time to give to the server! 

On weekdays around 4-5 hours
On weekends it varies but around 8-10 hours!

Additionally, despite the result of this application you absolutely will find me online after release! 

Do you think you have what it takes to Staff on Awaken?

I don’t think this is exclusively on Awaken but I think staffing in general takes patience & understanding.

Patience helps specifically in staffing due to misunderstands and communication between players and staff. Things happen! I think it's really important to understand that people are still apart of your community as you interact with them and patience plays a big part of making sure they get the help that they need in a scenario. As a staff member, I think the most important part is assisting any manner you can! Hence, if you can't communicate or understand a player for long enough for you to provide support at all; what's the point? 🙂

Like I said as well understanding is a big part of this process as well! Your players and those in the community are those that fuel a server! If you can't go out of your way to fully understand their scenario and get a good gist of their issues and problems when providing support to a player or a community at large it is not possible in any sort to give a good solid answer to a player. And at that point, again, what is the point?

What qualities do you have over other applicants on Awaken?

Obviously I have read staff applications in my time managing other servers and my own and sometimes I see a lack of good communication. This either being caused by bad grammar or unprofessionalism, sometimes both. However, I've never had an issue communicating professionally and talking to players in a confident and nice manner whilst also maintain a professional look! 

As well, I think during my time working I've developed a good leadership skill! I have led and managed decent sized teams and servers and I think with that experience plus the real world experience I have had with it, I have developed a great sense of how to manage and lead! I think this skill only comes with time but fortunately I feel I've had time to develop it and used it to my advantage!  

What are your most memorable moments on Awaken?

I think checking out the server and Discord has been great and motivated me a lot to apply and interact with the community! 

Whilst interacting with people in the community it did really push me to continue applying but also come back and edit and add as much as a could as I feel as motivated as possible! 

Is there anything else you'd like to include?

I'm sure this position will get lots of applications and good ones at that! I'm sure happy to throw my hat into the ring and either way I appreciate you for looking over it! I've wrote extensively about "past experience" and such so I will list out some of it here and allow you to get a good sense of what I have worked on in the past! If you have any other questions for me at all I'm super willing to answer them!
