So you want to be a helper? Well good, BotService.Org is always looking for new able-minded staff, but there are a few things to remeber going into this adventure.

We expect and need certain things from our staff. Key amoung those things is an open mind, an outgoing friendly personality, a level of maturity and an ability to think logically. Joining BotService.Org staff is not anything like all fun and games, we won't lie to you just to get a warm body there. If you haven't yet, stop reading this and go read the Rationale section of our website. OK, so now you see WHY we do this, and you are still reading. Good. So now you can start to see what we expect from you. We do not ask that you devote every waking minute to the service, but when you are helping out? We need you to be a team player. Let's spend a minute in closing going over each of those key needs that were mentioned earlier:

• An open mind - we deal with literally hundreds of users a week, and many of them might not be "into" what you are. They might even be activly involved in something you don't know about or do not liek at all. If you cannot get past that and help them out? Your mind is not open.
  
• outgoing friendly personality - With those hundreds of users coming in and out and asking quesitons and needing help, we need people who can be good to help and not get frustrated at the drop of a hat or so annoyed they are functionally useless.
  
• a level of maturity - Due to past experience and events, we have adopted a rule of thumb to only hire staff of 18 years or older. This is not to say we do not and have not made exceptions, but we do ask that you remeber it when applying for staff.
  
• an ability to think logically - We do a LOT of problem solving. We need staff who can reason their way around a problem, be it with a bot or a person and see a solution to implement it.
