Seeing very unprofessional and childish applications on this forum. If you want to take your position seriously, apply to your potential employer properly. This works in the real life also. Dress nice, write a decent resume and never center align!
Here are two examples of the same application. I'll start with the unprofessional one. Compare it to the proper one at the end.
(These applications are general meaning not applying for anything specific. It ties in mapping and gamemaster applications as an example)
*Just a quick note. This is not a legit mapping application. Maps were used as examples so you can see how to apply properly.*
**Corrections for the bad application will be in dark red.**
This is what you should NEVER do in an application:
Keep your pictures small, and maintain proper alignment.
Additional notes: Capitalize the first letter of every new sentence.
Use proper spelling and punctuation. We'll forgive you if you accidentally make an error or two.
Maintain proper alignment TO THE LEFT
In the end make your application short and simple. If it's good the employer will contact you.

Here is the exact same application, but cleaned up and following the red corrections above:
This is what you should try to do in an application:
Name: Jane Smith
Age: 20
Country: Canada
Language: English

What do you want in return?: Full in-game access.

This is what you should NEVER do in an application:
name: John Smith
age: im 20 years old but i act like i am 25
Tell us your age and nothing more. When you tell us how you act you sound immature and needy.
country: canadaa!
Spell your own country properly. Only use punctuation if your country has a symbol in it.
languages Spoken: egnlish, some french, and a bit of Spanish
Say what you speak fluently. Nothing else. That's irrelevant. If you are not fluent, you can't speak it.
why you should choose me: becuz i am trustworthy and i am nice to people but i can be strict at the same time. i have been playing for two years so i know all the comand and work with raw mostly.
Short and simple tell us your attributes. Don't say more; it makes you look childish.
What do you want in return: i dont need anything just full access in game to everything
If you don't need anything, don't ask for anything. If you do, simply state it.
experience: i play tibia rl for about 6 years now. and I play ots for almost 5. ive been tutor before and was god on my ot
How many years you've played is irrelevant. Tell us which servers you've been at and your duties.
