I mean.. Have the applicant with either the guild leader or guild officer and it's crucial that the senior members are there for the interview (given that they are on Mabi during that time,) everyone else is an option. We can meet anywhere as long as it's not in public where everyone can see us talk, I mean we don't want randoms crashing into the interview :C So like in Scat or w/e Lol or our guild hall And once all members are there, the interview would start And given that guild leader is there, she starts the questioning and when she's out of questions the officer takes over, and when all main questions are done by the leader and/or officer. All other questions are opened up to the senior members and/or the remaining guild members that are physically there for the interview. Once interview is finished, we should all decide as a guild via guild chat if this applicant is accepted or rejected and once everyone (particularly those that were there at the interview) gives an OK or a No. The rest goes from there lol The whole point of being there isn't to intimidate the applicant but to show them in a way that this guild is a guild that's willing to be active and importantly, friendly. cx But to also give the other guild members an idea of who this applicant is - not just a random person that joined the guild. I mean like, I don't want the interview to be ALL serious Have a few laughs and so on and we can joke around but when the time comes to be serious - *Please. Be Serious.* And If the applicant gets accepted - we should do a guild run of something as like a celebration But yeah, let me know what you guys think~

Even without the majority of the senior members, the officer or guild leader has to be there

Posts: 455 Likes: 112 Gender: Female 등급: Master 재능: Chef	Post by Kohane on Jul 5, 2014 4:51:44 GMT -8 I think it's a really good idea to have more members involved for the interviewing! That way, like you said, some guildies can get to know the new recruit, but then the recruit will also meet more people in the guild. Since interacting in a fully new community is hard, it might be a push in the right direction 'for socializing with everyone. The after party sounds really great~ But, two things concern me: - I strongly believe the decision of accepting an applicant is a staff-only... thing? duty? o--o... My engrish fails me >: - how the applicant would feel. I know it's a great idea for open and easy going people, but for shy and introvert persons and then with 10 members staring at him/her... I could understand they might feel a bit uncomfortable. A limit to the amount of members present (like 4?) would be an idea, or of course, leaving the decision to the applicant whether he wants a one-on-one interview or an "open" interview with other members present. And yeah, the availability of the staff members... Besides this, I think the idea is great. Good job thinking about it, Misa~

I mean okay, the staff members said yes we want this person to join our guild but what if one of the members didn't like that person, they should be at least to be able to state their opinion, and even if they DO say no, and the amount of people who say yes majorities over no, then of course the applicant is going to get accepted regardless of how many people said no as long as yes goes over that vote But the only thing that concerns me about ^ that is: I just don't want the people or person who said no to feel like they're alone on that basis, I mean we can always be like "You should at least give them a try!~" But yeah Lol Your second concern: Yes of course everyone is nervous if it's an interview, even an online one, I know I was when I was being interviewed by Doctrina And it was a one-on-one, regardless, everyone is still nervous no matter what. So yes maybe pushing 12480915246 people on an applicant can be nerve wrecking, So I think it's best to ask the applicant themselves? And depending on what they answer: One-on-one: then either Guild Leader, Guild Officer, or the Senior Members can interview them (preferably, the officer or leader) Multiple: Be sure to cation them that at least up to 10 people will be there, but it's not to intimidate them at all, it's just supposed to be a happy friendly environment and we don't mean any harm ;~; </3 But most importantly: yes it can and will be nerve wrecking, because not only are you worried about giving first impressions to 10 people but to answer questions and know that others are there listening and watching C: .. nervous breakdown but seriously,I think it's best if you ask the applicant ^~^

Aforementioned availability 2. The word "Optional" is abused like mad. If people are given the option not to do something they usually don't... 3. Assuming people besides the staff don't show up, they don't keep showing up. It gets to the point where it's only one person doing the whole interview again. This isn't isolated either Two extremely organized and family oriented guilds have had the same result. 4. Interviews like that tend to take an immense amount of time, and this is coming from someone who had almost a 3 hour interview for this guild 5. Once interview is finished, we should all decide as a guild via guild chat if this applicant is accepted or rejected and once everyone (particularly those that were there at the interview) gives an OK or a No. <- This isnt a reason but, I feel that, if anything, only the people present should vote. It'd be kinda strange voting for someone to join if you've never met them.
