4. Why Do You Want to Join the Program?
There are multiple reasons as to why I would like to join the Program. Firstly, I wish to offer my skills and experience, as I have had past moderation experiences on another forum website quite similar to this. I was a moderator for approximately a couple of months before ultimately becoming an admin on said forum site, to which I moderated for a total of a year or two. As stated previously, I hope to bring my skillset onto the team with my seasoned experiences. If anything, I know my way around moderation.

Additionally, another main reason is that I wish to help out the team. I've been thinking of submitting an application for some time now, and have been waiting for an opportunity to do so. With the experience I have, I want to be able to help out and try to not leave my skills to waste away. I simply want to offer myself and my skills for the better of the moderation team, and have the ability to be used as an asset for moderation.
5. What Are Your Goals Within the Team, If Hired?
While I am generally open minded about what I bring to the table, I have a goal or two that I faintly have in mind if I ever get accepted. My first goal would be to help moderate and crack down on any rule breaking and go by the proper procedures. This is also partial to my other goal, which is to reinforce the rules/guidelines against all and any users- if a user needs to be banned, they will get banned. A user will not consider the full consequences if they are let go lightly. I will be a person on the team who will advocate for said full consequences. But above all else, my biggest goal is to ensure that I actually do a good job as part of the moderation team and live up to the expectations of this role I am applying for.
6. How Do You Handle Failure?
There are a few ways in which I handle failure. The first way would be to make sure I am wrong- by trying to get the facts straight. I am a profusely apologetic person and will be more than likely willing to apologize for things, so long as I am truly in the wrong. If I am, I have no issues with apologizing and ensuring the best of the situation. The second way in which I handle failure is by owning it completely and admitting my mistakes- then attempt to fix it. Both of these ways- in some shape or form- do overlap with each other in terms of how I handle failure, but they are methods nevertheless. With failures, I intend to grow and learn from them in an effort to avoid repeats of said failures in the future. These are methods that I intend to use when facing failure as a member of the moderation team, as I understand the responsibilities and expectations of said role, and the weight of causing a mishap.
