PlexPvP Staff Process

 

Hey! Thank you for choosing to apply for staff on PlexPvP! Even after reading over this guide and you find this isn’t the right server for you, we thank you for at least expressing interest in the server. This thread will cover the staff process in its entirety leading up to acceptance, giving advice for each stage.

 

Stage 1 - Application Stage

 

This is the first stage of becoming a staff member. You start by using the application format found here. Using the format, create a new topic under applications and paste in your application with each question answered appropriately. Please be sure you are answering each question truthfully and to the best of your ability. This application will help us get an understanding of your ability so we can determine whether you’re informed enough to make it onto the next stage of the process and what we would have to work on if you get to the trainee stage. The following are some things we look for in an application and some things you may want to focus on when writing your application:

 

Detail - One of the main things we look for is detail. If your application does not have a lot of detail, it shows you did not put much effort into your application and that you don’t display a huge amount of passion for wanting to help the server. If you can’t take the time to put in effort in your application then how do we know you’ll put effort into becoming a staff member?

 

Experience - While not a key defining factor on whether you’ll be a staff member, an essential thing for a staff member to have is previous experience. You learn a lot of things as a staff member like how to handle different situations that may arise on the server, so the more experience you have, the more we can see that you have the potential to be a good staff member for our needs.

 

Requirements - Our requirements were set there for a reason. We believe the requirements we set are the best in order to make sure our staff members will be as mature and professional as possible. We want to make sure you meet these requirements to ensure you’re the best fit for the team as possible. These requirements can also be found in the application format.

 

Honesty - While we don’t do major background checks, please make sure you’re as honest as possible in your application. If we get suspicious of a certain detail you put into your application and we find out you lied about this may result in your application being denied. If we find out about it while you're on the staff team then you may receive a staff warning or a demotion based on how major it is. If you cannot even be truthful in your application then we can’t trust you to be truthful with the rest of the staff team.

 

These are just some of the things we look for when we go through applications and they are only a minority of what we look at. We also look at your punishment history, playtime, behaviour in game and on the discord and a lot more. If after this stage you are accepted, you’ll be invited to proceed to the next stage.

 

Stage 2 - Interview Stage

 

If your application was accepted, you have made it to this stage. Upon entering this stage, you will receive an invite to our training discord from the staff manager once you reach out to them. Once you have joined this discord server, you will have to schedule an interview with a member of the Management Team. In this process you will have the option to specify what type of interview you wish to have. You will be asked whether you wish to have a casual, more laid back interview or a more serious one as well as potentially whether we can do anything to make sure you are calm for the interview.

 

The interview is the second to last stage that may define whether you’re fit to be a staff member or not. Here, we will ask you questions that relate to how you perform as a staff member as well as some scenario questions that will reflect the experience you’ve gained while watching the staff on PlexPvP do their jobs and any previous experience you may have gained as a staff member on previous servers. It will tell us what we may have to train you on if you’re accepted or if we feel like you aren’t fit for the job based on how you answered some questions in the interview. Let yourself answer the questions and don’t stress too much over them. We completely understand if you’re stressed but don’t let it influence how you answer these questions completely. As long as you answer as best as you possibly can, you will probably be just fine. If you pass the interview then...

 

Stage 3 - Observation Stage

 

After the first interview and maybe before then, we will start to monitor your helpfulness to the community. The things we will mainly focus on are how passionate you are about PlexPvP by viewing how much time you spend in game, watching any potential punishments you will receive and how many questions you are willing to answer to help other players in need. We strongly believe you don’t require a shiny prefix to help other people so we shall see how you perform here. We will see how well you stand out from other players in answering questions and attempting to help not only the community but also the staff team by filing reports, making suggestions and just generally helping us do our jobs. This stage may benefit you greatly if you think you might be nervous in answering questions in an interview and uncomfortable. If you are able to stand out and make a bigger difference practically, this is a sign you will be a great fit for our team.
 

Stage 4 - Acceptance

 

Congratulations! You have now joined the staff team as a trainee and are now an official staff member! You have proven to the senior team that you have the potential to become a permanent member of the team so you have now become an official staff member. From here, you will be given some staff documents to read through to help guide you in being staff on PlexPvP and give some information on the roles. You will also be assigned a mentor from the Senior Team that will help you with any questions or dilemmas you will run into as a staff member on PlexPvP. Along with this, you will also be given a briefing from a member of the Senior Team who will usually be the same person that interviewed you. After the briefing, you shall be given your rank in game and on the discord server. The Trainee stage will last for about a week if the server is still online for the season but may be extended if we feel it is necessary. From there, the senior team will watch how you perform and give any feedback they feel they need to. However, you still need to prove yourself here that you can be a good staff member. You are still able to be kicked from the team if we feel like we need to. Congratulations if you get accepted! And to you, the reader, we wish you all the best if you decide to apply for staff and good luck on each of the stages!
