Archive:EVE University Interview Queue
NOTE: Draft
What is the queue?
Most often, the queue people around E-Uni are referring to is the Application queue. Waiting in this queue is what gets an applicant an interview with a Personnel Officer, Senior Personnel Officer, or other staff member.
How does it work?
When you complete your application, the time-stamp is saved. This time-stamp never changes. As many as a hundred people apply to E-Uni each day, though, so you might see yourself moving backward quite a bit -- this is simply because people that had earlier timestamps than you are logging in.
Does being in the queue all the time help?
Not at all. We typically only look at the queue order, not how long you've actually been waiting in it. If you log off Eve for the night immediately after applying, come back a day later, you will still be exactly where you would have been if you had spent all night being in the queue.
Is there anything that can hurt my place in the queue?
There sure is! If you're in the queue but you are not actively watching the E-Uni public chat channel, you might miss hearing your name being called. If this happens, some folks may skip over you for some time in the future. Close the browser or leave the queue when you won't be watching every two minutes or so!
