Introduction: Oh Christ, he's reapplying. Everyone hide is probably the right reaction and I don't blame you but oh well.
Hi, I am James. There isn't much you don't already know about me from my last application. So I am a computer science college student now (after changing subjects) and I currently study networks and hardware (though I already know the topics from the course).
I'm from the UK and was born in West Yorkshire though I've lived in North Yorkshire all my life.
Some of the games I like to play include the Tomb Raider series, Life is strange, A Hat in time (from my profile pic) and sandboxes like Planet Coaster.

Why should you be Helper? Through the years I have played minecraft, I have been staff on multiple servers.
I have previously been the Admin position of a large hub server for over a year (I worked my way up). This was because of my ability to moderate and set up servers. As well as this, I have had the privilege of moderating others smaller servers and getting to know what it’s like to be a staff member. This is not limited to towny either as I’ve had experience working in other fields such as factions, creative, kitpvp and minigames.
Throughout my time at High School, I have taken on the role of ‘Learning leader’ (HAHAHA sad I know) by the deputy head which meant my job in lessons was to help people who were struggling. This would equate to my ability to help players in game as I’ve had a lot of experience helping people in real life.
I have had work experience at UK Supermarket chains like Tesco where I worked in all sections of the store. I’ve worked on the help desk helping customers find their way, return products and with online features of the store. This means that I have had experience with handling customers in real life and it would mean that I know how to speak and handle situations.
Throughout the time I’ve played this game, I have contributed many hours into helping players across many different servers. As this is the case, I have stacked up a large knowledge of how minecraft servers have worked as I’ve ran and developed many in the past. As well as this, I have been able to get a large knowledge of specifically economy plugins – including towny which will massively increase my ability to help players.
Not only this but due to being staff on other large servers and working in retail, I have brought together great teamwork skills which will help me out a lot while working in certain situations, may it be bringing together ideas which will help push the server forward or working on a large grief/theft case. It also means that I have built up good leadership skills as I’ve had to, in the past, run sections of servers to push out updates or to help with training new staff members to get them used to the commands and working environment.
While being staff on this server, I took on a few projects like player retention which basically involved bringing together ideas which would make newer players stay but also hopefully intrigue older players and hopefully bring them back as well. I have some projects unfinished and one of the goals for if I get accepted again (most likely not going to happen) would be to get these finished and if they get approval, push to get them implemented as swiftly and as efficiently as possible.
I have good knowledge of commands as was shown from when I was previously helper so that won't be an issue when moderating the server. I know basically what needs to happen without going through the stages of the word documents like some have to which is good. It also means that if the small possibility of me being accepted actually happens, I wont need to be trained.
From working as a moderator on the server recently (yes, yes. I know someone will bring that up in the comments 'Oh weren't you staff like a month ago?...) I know the optimal way of handling situations with efficiency and accuracy.

What are your weaknesses? Time management is one of my issues. Like from work, I can get caught up in doing something that I put too much work into one things and run out of time for others. This however can be addressed later.
Spelling, my spelling has gotten better but as like it was before, it can show that I could be unprofessional or not qualified for the job.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: Not really, that's it. Nice, short and snappy.

 

Hi there, Learning Leader,

First of all, you were an absolute pleasure to work with, let’s get that right. You knew how to adapt to many different people to insure the success of projects, and that’s a pretty rare quality. I also believe the reasons for your resignation were justified, and I do appreciate you coming back.

I thought you application was pretty decent, and I hope to work with you once more soon enough. Best of luck!
