Reminders:

• Take your time on your application.
  
• Make your application look professional.
  
• Don't apply just because you want the user bar or you want to be labeled as an interviewer.
  
• Applications shall only be posted here.
  
• I don't and won't give a reason why someone was denied.
  
• This application form is one step and the next is initiation. You'll have to do one test interview and if you past you'll be in probation and soon enough be a full fledged interviewer.
  
• If you truly want to join this group and be an interviewer act like it, read all of the rules and requirements, be patient on your application, aim for perfection, etc.

Q&A

The "Q" stands for "Question" and the "A" stands for "Answer".

• Q - Will you accept me, because we're friends?
  • A - No, that would fall under corruption, abuse of power, and it would be UN-professional. Under no circumstances will anyone be accepted, because of personal reasons. An acceptance or denial is strictly business and professional.

• Q - I like the writer's user bar. So can I apply, because I want it?
  • A - No, that would be an idiotic reason to apply and you'd be denied instantly.

• Q - Cobalt+/Sir/Reported don't like me. Does that lessen my chances of being accepted?
  • A - No, you'll be reviewed by three people so one no won't out rule you. This is kept strictly professional and in no way will personal dislikes interrupt recruitment.

• Q - Can I do interviews for the user news?
  • A - Possibly if Reported chooses to write for the main news.

• Q - If something happens in my real life can I notify you I'll be inactive and not be removed from my position?
  • A - Yes, you can apply for a leave of absence, but it can't last more than 2 weeks.

• Q - Can I interview my friend, because I owe him for something he did for me?
  • A - Yes, we actually give interviewers one freebie giving them the opportunity to interview one person for personal reasons and they don't have to qualify all of the requirements. Although it matters on the time and if an interview is requested.

• Q - How can I become head interviewer?
  • A - You'll have to contact Sir or me and really do your part and a head interviewer would have to be open.

• Q - What do head interviewers do that regular interviewers don't?
  • A - Recruit, Nominate new interviews, Organize the interviewer section, Proof read interviews, Do the most work, Communicate & Mentor, etc.

Do you have Skype? No, I only prefer MSN chat or HF pm.
How are you professional? I am not partial and corrupt like many members on HF.
Why do you deserve to be an interviewer? Because I know this job well and would be overwhelmed to get accepted!

Age: 17
Why did you receive your warning level? ( Only Answer this if you have warnings )
How good is your grammar on a scale from one to ten? 9. I received a perfect score on both the Writing part, and the Reading part of my college entrance exams. I don't give myself a 10 because I'm human, and occasionally make a mistake.
How active are you on a daily basis? As long as I'm not in school (only in class on Mondays and Wednesdays now), I am on for at least several hours of the day. It varies anywhere from 3 to 8 hours per day.
Why do you want to become an interviewer? I feel like I qualify for the position. I'm not only doing this for the userbar, which can easily be proven by the fact that I just left all of the groups I was in: Red Lions, Black Knights, Eminence, RATs Crew, and Minecrafters. I was not kicked, I just didn't believe that I could keep up with all of the posts that were required of me at the time. However, I believe that limiting myself to this single group will be much more manageable.
Do you have Skype? Yes. My Skype username is: EatSleepCodeHF
How are you professional? Professionalism is incredibly important to me. I grew up watching my dad run a business, and have run a small software company of my own. I always handle every matter professionally, and never troll or act childish.
Why do you deserve to be an interviewer? I meet all of the qualifications and requirements, if not exceed them. I take pride in my professionalism, and would love to be able to use that ability in a way that benefits this forum.
Do you enjoy writing, reading, and proof reading? Yes. I read every night before bed, and have received an A on every assignment I have been given in my College Composition 2 course. I'm not going to lie, proof reading isn't necessarily enjoyable, but I can do it efficiently and accurately nonetheless.
Are you willing to send in one or more interviews by every Sunday? Absolutely. At the time being, I am not enrolled as a full time student, and have plenty of time to interview members.
