Line 57:

If you have to leave the queue, close the browser window with the queue in and you will be removed from the list. Your timestamp is saved, so you will be in the same place when you rejoin the queue.

==Queue position==

When you have joined the queue for an interview you will see a screen which tells you your position in the interview queue. This is your position relative to everyone else who is currently logged in and waiting for an interview. If a person with an earlier timestamp logs in they will automatically be place above you in the queue (since they have been waiting longer than you) so your queue position number will increase. At busy times you will notice your relative queue position goes up and down often as other players log in and receive interviews. This is the queue working as intended and is not a problem. Be assured that we will get to you eventually.

Note that while Personnel Officers normally interview people in order of timestamp there will be occasions when they interview people out of order (for example, if number one in the queue is not responding to an interview call). Therefore do not assume that you can avoid paying attention in the channel until you are number one, as this may lead to to you missing your interview call.

You can see a list of all of our Personnel Officers on the [[Personnel Department]] page. Please do not send them unrequited convo requests. If you need to speak to a Personnel Officer because there is a problem with your application, please ask in the E-Uni channel. If there is no response, please send an in-game mail to one of our Personnel Officers.

~~===What is my position in the queue?===~~

We used to have an indicator which told you where you were in the Interview Queue. However, this has now been removed because it was confusing to new members, as there are several interview queues and so the number actually bears little relevance to how long it will be until you are called to interview. It also meant that people who were not number one were not expecting an interview call and were often not paying attention.

~~Do not worry about your position in the queue, just ensure you have the browser window and E-Uni channel open when you are available for an interview, so you do not miss your call.~~
