Once you have received an evemail response to your application, read it carefully. Only when you have received this evemail and meet the requirements it details (including completing your applicant questionnaire as noted in Step 9), are you allowed to begin seeking out one of our Recruitment Officers.

To ~~begin your~~ interview, you must join our automated queue system~~. Any~~ active ROs will work their way through that queue. Links to the queue can be found in the channel message of the day in our public channel, "E-UNI". Please keep in mind that ROs are volunteers, giving up their own free time to help the University. They also play the game and pay for the privilege just like you, so please be patient.

To get an interview, you must join our automated queue system - any active ROs will work their way through that queue:

To join the queue, click on this link '''using the in-game browser''': [http://eveuniapp.appspot.com/queue Queue Here]. Follow the instructions on the page and wait for an RO to call your name in the public "E-UNI" channel.  Some ROs prefer to convo applicants directly, so look out for that.  You should always check out anyone who invites you to a conversation before you accept; if it's a member of Eve University chances are it could be an RO.

* To join the queue, click on this link '''using the in-game browser''': [http://eveuniapp.appspot.com/queue Queue Here].

If you miss your call or convo invite, you will be removed from the queue. Please re-queue again when you can pay attention to the E-UNI channel.

* Please leave the queue whenever you are not at your keyboard and actively engaged in playing the game.

You will likely be waiting 7-10 days for an interview, depending on how busy things are. Please be prepared for this, and ensure you have things to do during this time. Working through the [[Tutorial and Career Agents in Eve|tutorials and career chains]] and missions in the first [[Getting Started In Eve Online#The Sisters of Eve Epic Arc: Blood-Stained Stars|Epic Arc]] while you wait is a good idea, and people in the "E-UNI" channel can often give you advice if you are having problems with the missions. There is no excuse to have nothing to do while you wait - just keep busy and your turn will come around in time. There is plenty of material to read on our [[Main Page|wiki]] (that's here, where you're reading this), and also the [[Eve University Class Library]] so you can begin learning even before you join.

~~Be warned~~: If you don't re-enter the queue after two weeks, it will erase your initial entry date and time. '''Log into the queue at least every few days to ensure that you don't lose your place.'''

'''NOTE:''' If you don't re-enter the queue after two weeks, it will erase your initial entry date and time. '''Log into the queue at least every few days to ensure that you don't lose your place.'''

There is no set interview length, but please ensure you will be available for up to an hour if needed, and possibly a little longer. This time is used to find out a bit about what you are aiming for in-game, to offer you some advice, and to ensure you have been made properly aware of uni rules and facilities, and will not feel completely lost once you become a member.

Our queue system is specifically designed to order applicants by the date and time they first joined the queue. Essentially this means the queue operates on a first come, first serve basis and you may find your position affected should someone who originally joined the queue before you log in. On the plus side, this means you're under no obligation to wait in the queue for long periods of time, as your first join date/time will be stored and will place you appropriately within the queue whenever you log in.

Please keep in mind that ROs are volunteers, giving up their own free time to help the University. They also play the game and pay for the privilege just like you, so please be patient.

=== How the queue works ===

Our queue system is specifically designed to ''order applicants by the date and time they first joined the queue''.

Essentially this means the queue operates on a first come, first serve basis and you may find your position affected should someone who originally joined the queue before you log in. On the plus side, this means you're under no obligation to wait in the queue for long periods of time, as your first join date/time will be stored and will place you appropriately within the queue whenever you log in.

Please leave the queue whenever you are not at your keyboard and actively engaged in playing the game. There is no benefit to artificially inflating the queue line by being logged into it whilst not available for an interview, and should you be called for your interview when you are not present, you may be penalised (this can mean anything from simple removal from the queue, to a reset of your join date/time or complete rejection of your application in the case of repeat offenders).
