More like is there anything to apply for just to volunteer for something? On March 03 2013 14:50 suicideyear wrote: I came here to echo KiF1re's question. I've had a short story published and have written a couple IEM previews for a league of legends site. i think a lot of people don't have much a portfolio, I'd say. Well realistically anyone with or without a resume is still applying for a volunteer position. As far as staff applications go we are looking for anyone and everyone who is interested in working with us in order to gain more experience and further themselves. So yes, we are interested in writers, casters, video producers, management staff, etc. The reason we are asking for a resume and a cover letter is because I think that if you want to call yourself a professional x, y, or z you damn well better reflect that in your actions and in the content you produce. Even if you don't have a portfolio, resume, cover letter prepped I would still like to see you submit something in the way of that. For the two of you - writing samples would be great to throw in. But I really want to see the people applying for staff positions actually treating their application like they are applying for a real job. You would never email a potential employer with just "hey, I've never done this before as a job, but I enjoy it as a hobby. I don't really have much to show you that I am good at this." You would email them with a cover letter letting them know why you would be an asset to the organization, with your resume and supporting work to back that up. So if you really think you're interested in being say a manager but you really don't have any experience (or enough of it) to list into a full resume then try and get creative. Create a captivating cover letter that explains where your management skills helped you somewhere in real life. Send in writing, video, etc samples. Even if it's not a full portfolio. Just do anything you can do to show me you are a innovative thinker and help you stand out from the average person who shoots me a PM saying something like "Hey if you ever need any help with stuff, I would love to be a part of Clarity." At the end of the day I need to see that you're qualified to handle the tasks I give out without me around to hold your hand. Even though you're working for free, I still expect professional quality out of your work. Sorry for the long response, but I hope this helps and greatly hope to see some applications from you both! Edit: The Resume I posted of mine as an example is something I put together in about an hour a couple of weeks ago. I used the very same format as my architecture resume and just focused all of the content to show what I have done and can do as a manager. There is content directly done in SC2 and eSports, and there is also examples of things I have done in 'real life.' I firmly believe anyone is capable of making themselves a portfolio like that even if they don't have formal training, a degree, or SC2 Specific experience. | ||

In terms of the final 8 roster - that will be decided following the Final recruitment tournament on 4/13. For you and other players - I have just sent out an initial response to the 34 of you who have applied today with details and what to expect from here. Those of you who really stand out in your application will be contacted early. Those who are not contacted early will still have time over the month of recruitment tournaments to make themselves more appealing and prove themselves in the tournaments. I hope that answers your question. :o | ||

Did you receive the initial reply email? If so it contained details on what to expect from here on out. We will not be making initial contact to players until this weekend (3/9-11). Everyone will be notified between then and Saturday 3/16 on whether or not they have been accepted. If you did not receive the initial reply email, please resubmit your application and make sure the address is correct (clarityacademy@gmail.com). Otherwise we do not have your app! | ||

The tournament will be in HotS as that is what the Academy will be focusing on. That is why we have pushed back the first tournament until 2 weeks past HotS release. The BO format is listed under the tournament schedule. The final tournament will be BO3 double elimination, just like MLG/IPL. It will probably have a BO5 finals. Map pool and the rest of the details will be released after the application deadline passes and we know how many people are fully accepted. | ||
