lol, well im not like other people, i spent 3 months in a guild waiting to raid and i didnt get to raid once, when they had promised me a spot in the first 2 weeks, but i was patient enough to wait 3 months and still not get in. Anyway about the job thing u replied about thats exactly what i meant i dont want to wait around for a month or so and than get shutdown (not saying you guys do that), but ya i've been burned so many times like that.... i hope you know where im coming from, but ya.
The biggest thing you can do to get a job (and coincidentally, a guild invite) is to BE PERSISTENT. Get your resume in, send an email, give a call to the recruiter and tell them "I want to work FOR YOU."
If you tell the interviewer that you're just looking for any job, they view it as that you don't really want to work for them, and as such your chances of getting hired get much more slim.
In short, throwing an application on our site and expecting us to find you is a teency bit short-sighted. Stick around, our application takes a long time because we've been burned by people in the past who do this:
"Hey guys I really want to join your guild. I don't care when I get to raid. Oh, thanks for inviting me! Are there raid spots open this week? No? Well that sucks I'm sick of waiting see you guys later good luck /gquit"
Hey guyz, I didnt mean it like that shit.... i just mean like i havent spoken to any1 about it for a couple days and the last few guilds i apped for they told me within a day if i had a possibility or not, sorry if you thought otherwise. I just dont wanna be waiting around too long for one guild, it's like my dad taught me, "When looking for a job, never only put one application out there, put 5-10 applications than choose from whoever calls you". Anyway sorry for the confusion.
You want into our guild....but you want us to do all the work for you...and in 2 days? Seriously?? There's so much you could elaborate on from my questions, from Garreth's, from Amenn's.
Did you read any of the other apps? Did you see the effort they put into letting people get know them? Did you see there are still open apps hoping for a spot after 3 months?

[15:27] Dragonfork: aidin hates me this I know, for my repair
bills tell me so. many times my health is low, aidin laughs when i
explode. yes aidin kills me, yes aidin kills me.
Nah, it doesn't hold that big a deal unless the person who makes said mistake takes it too seriously :)
I will call people on spelling errors, particularly when they say they made none - but you took it in good faith and with good humor so it actually helps you :P
Ok, well anyway resto is pretty fun and i like it, i have experience in Gruul's, Mag, KZ, ZA and first boss in sunwell, (we tried first boss with a GKP, didnt work out so well :P). Anyway im always up for healin just need to get my last pce or 2.
Willing to respec for the raid is always a winning quality, however you need to be aware that if you get recruited as a resto-shaman you will not have an opportunity to respec later. Sure if the stars align just right and we have an over abundance of resto shamans it might happen, but that's slightly less likely than the earth crashing into the sun. Resto shaman is bar none the most effective healing class in the game right now, if you sign up to heal you're going to have to keep doing that from here to WotLK. Do you like healing? Do you have any experience healing in a raid? Do you want to be a raid healer?
Assuming the answer to all of those is yes, tell me, what do you know about healing in general, and shaman healing in specific? How do you maximize your value as a shaman healer? What would your resto spec be (link a specific build)? Have you read the EJ resto shaman thread? Are you familar with Grid? I see you're rocking the default UI and default key bindings. Do you think that gives you enough hot keys? Do you move with the keyboard or the mouse? Are you confident in your ability to move and use instant abilities at the same time?
."Would it be a problem if you had to wait 3 weeks or 3 months to get into raid?:
well 3 weeks sure np, but 3 months is a little long dont ya think? =D"
If you think 3 months is a long time to get into a raid, then you may be in for a rude awakening.
We are not currently recruiting DPS for either one of our 2 25man raids. If you were a healer...well that would be a different story. Both 25 man raids are set with DPS, and there are people that have been filling in for each raid for months, who would get some priority of the next open raid spot.
If you were to pass the rigorous Downfall application process, you would begin solely as a fill in for raids, and could be warming the bench for a while. How do you feel about this?

Honestly, if i was able to get into 1 raid a week i wouldnt care if i was a fill in, on the upside im also only missing 1 pce from my resto set atm, so if need be i could respec.
Didn't take Turth's advice
Aidin — Fri, 07/18/2008 - 18:36Didn't take Turth's advice in almost 30 days? Closing now to save the time, come visit again when you have the time to put a bit of effort forth.

Please... Before I gouge my eyes out... Research Enhancement and spec properly. I'll wait a day or so b4 looking back to see if you've done so.

A snide remark that we haven't been communicating well: 6/26
Two days? Really?
Probably best if we just close this one down right now.

Tharrissa (not verified) — Thu, 06/26/2008 - 23:44Well, i haven't heard from you guyz in a while so i figured it's not going to happen anyway, thanks for lettin me know.

Shihli — Tue, 06/24/2008 - 13:32As they have said, get comfortable with the idea of being a healer - if you stuck as dps you'd be benched indefinitely.
Also, there are spelling errors in your application, when you said there were none :P
Like Amenn said: We're full
