28 | - | Holo will check the tests and get back to you eventually. A lot of people have applied, so that might mean it'll take a few days. Hang out in #doki-recruits! During timer recruits a lot of sparkling friendships were formed, although hopefully we can get this done more quickly. There's plenty of friendly folk in #doki or just across Rizon. |
28 | + | |
29 | Hang around IRC for a… while. Eventually, somebody will get back to you about the QC test, and if you pass you will be given the editing test. | |

31 | + | The goal of the editing test is to smooth out the English in the script. "It can't be helped that Gotou-sama's sword was of such a big size as that." is an extreme example. Read up on our editing conventions (http://www.hologfx.com/dump/The_Basics_of_Editing.htm)! Email this to misteranonimous too. |
32 | ||
33 | We will review the editing test as soon as we can. A lot of people apply, so you might have to wait a few days. Hang out in #doki-recruits! Make a few friends; you'll be working with the people around you if you pass. #doki is also open; it's much more populated and lively. | |

35 | More questions? | |
36 | Ask any staff in the recruits channel. They'll have a color or symbol next to their name in most IRC clients. |
