Community management and the Little Orbit team want to thank you all that express your interest and we are looking forward to greet more of you as a part of our volunteering teams!

************

How to Apply:
1.    A specific form that will be presented at the end of this post while creating your application, which should be in the body of the message, not as an attachment.
2.    The SUBJECT of your PM should have the following:
3.    “Application: “
4.    Game you are applying for (APB, FE)
5.    Position as either 'GM' or 'MOD'
6.    Platform in parenthesis (if you are apply for APB, this can be PC, PS4, XB)
7.    Example: “Application: APB GM (PC)“
8.    Submit your application!

 

Submitting your Application:
Send your application as a forum PM to both @Ritual and @Lixil. Again, please send the application in the text field of the PM, do not send us any attachments.

What Happens Next?
We will be reviewing your applications over the next few weeks to identify potential candidates to join the volunteer team. If you are selected, we will contact you and schedule an interview over Discord.
What if I don't hear back right away?
It probably means we are yet to review your application. We are usually dealing with a large number of applications and it takes time to go through all of them. Whether you are moving forward to the interview or unfortunately not, we will make sure to let you know the results. Thank you for your patience!

Note: We do take note of applicants that react poorly for not being selected and that will hurt your ability to be selected in the future.
So what happens after I am selected and pass the interview?
Congrats! Shortly after the interview, we will contact you to let you know if you will be joining our volunteer team! You will need to sign an NDA before we introduce you to the team. You will go through a training period with a well-seasoned mentor by your side while you get the hang of things before becoming a full fledged GM/Moderator.
