though you will need isk's to participate

Also in general neither E-Uni or RvB will look bad on your employment record.

Any Recruiter that is at least a bit serious in his job will start a quick background check on you the moment you said hello to him.
Some recruiters do it relaxed, others do it very very thorough. But in general RvB and E-Uni are looked over quickly, specially if you joined E-Uni as one of the first corps in your record (aka you joined them to learn stuff).

As for employment record. It's public and recruiters/security guys use it to judge if you are a possible spy, corp hopper or just a plain thief. So an employment history of 50 corps in 2 months will mean you will have a hard time to get into no. 51. So for your own good, research a corp before joining. Nothing worse then joining a lot of corps, find out after 2 days you don't like them and switch. Eventually you will hit a wall as no recruiter wants to accept you.

So research (look them up on forums / google, look at kill-boards, join public channel (95% of the corps have them) and chat with people) a corp before joining. It takes time, but that time will pay itself back, time spent in research might mean you join the right corp in 1 go and have a great time in EVE.

Marjolaine Soucie Hedion University Amarr Empire 1	Posted - 2012.06.03 14:16:00 - [1] - Quote Couple of questions around joining a corp. I am almost ready to fly a battlecruiser, Just over 3 million sp. Eve Uni really intrigues me as does red vs blue. Would I be a viable canidate for eve uni? I kind of want to start there for a couple months before I join red vs blue. OK, now to the main question. I know joining a corp can be a daunting task here because as we know, well, this is eve. So to some of you vets, first is there a q&a regarding your first corp? If not, are there common questions to ask or, I don't know, how does one go about joining a corp without getting scammed, ganked, griefed, or otherwise?

Nerath Naaris Pink Winged Unicorns for Peace Love and Anarchy 110	Posted - 2012.06.03 16:30:00 - [8] - Quote It helps if you know what you want to do, of course, there is little sense in joining a mining corp if you have no interest there. As for the act of joining a corps, again, everything goes, from the run-of-the-mill recruitment channel fail corp that "do everything" and take everyone, no questions asked (literally) to "invite only" leet null-sec corp. Usually, you have to provide (at least) your limited API for the corp to check if you are some spies-& alt. This is not necessarily a bad thing as it proves that that corp has at least rudimentary understanding of the underlying metagaming and hopefully won-&t be robbed blind and collapse coming week. Just keep in mind that YOU are an asset for a corp, not vice versa. Also, never pay 500 mil ISK to join a corp. Or anything. Or have some future corp member haul your stuff to your future null-sec home. As for RvB, you can simply apply and will be accepted, no questions asked (their nature and purpose makes them nearly immune to metagaming). Eve University on the other hand has some formalized application process involving API and a personal interview that takes around a week or so till you can join. Of course, both corps are hotbeds of spies, nevertheless.... Forum-unbanned since 2011.10.20.

We stick to our little corner of the 'verse and shoot each other up. What's a spy going to report on? "Hey, so, Red just blew up a Blue fleet with 8 BCs. Um, yeah, so... That happened."

"Hey surf you need to change out of that ruppie and into a T1 frig becasue we told Red that we're just using T1 frigs" Then 2 minutes later we're fighting Red cruisers Having a character in both corporations, I can say unequivocally that this happens on both sides, and is usually due to an FC not being aware of what they have in fleet (whether because someone joined with something other than what was requested, or because someone joined the fleet after the FCs had already agreed on something). Both sides like to claim the other side does nothing but upship and lie about their numbers, but both sides are guilty of the same thing. ;) It's the reason the leadership had to train Babysitting V.

voetius Starwinders The Unwilling. 5	Posted - 2012.06.03 21:13:00 - [14] - Quote - would you be a viable candidate for E-Uni? yes if you are a new player, there is an api check to make sure you are not a spy etc. You can look them up in game and there is a link to their wiki / website that explains how to sign up, pre-conditions etc "I kind of want to start there for a couple months before I join red vs blue." - this seems a sensible choice, a good understanding of basics will help you making isk which you can use to pay for ... RvB "are there common questions to ask or, I don't know, how does one go about joining a corp without getting scammed, ganked, griefed, or otherwise? " - basically after joining E-Uni or RvB for a while you should look for a corp that does what you like doing, some basic things to consider: - what TZ the corp is in and your TZ - what the corp does, what you interests are - ask alot of questions hth

U need not worry bout being scammed from joining rvb or eve uni. They wont be asking you to hand over assets or pay fees before joining. RVB basically will just add you or tell you to join one or the other corp so they have even numbers. They just pvp each other and random neutrals who war dec them so they have no need or interest in scamming the members. Eve Uni is all about teaching new players. They have been around a long time and they have a reputation for teaching new players about the game. RVB really doesnt have any requirements or reject anyone from joining. Eve uni does have some requirements and sometimes does reject new prospects that dont meet them.

It takes time, but that time will pay itself back, time spent in research might mean you join the right corp in 1 go and have a great time in EVE. Such background checking about the corp/alliance can be performed in a manner of minutes to have a first overall idea, once you're used to it, and because you apply for a corp doesn't mean you should strip naked and silently await judgement. Lookup the corp, if it's an alliance, check the member corps, query eve-kill for the alliance, their kills/losses ratio, the location of their fights (if it matches their advertised activity), browse their website if they have one advertised. The attitude of the recruiter that convo you tells a great deal as well and the way the interview is lead can make a difference. I've had a recruiter convo me on behalf of an alliance that gathered tens of corps of all sizes and activities, that asked me what ships I could fly while he had the link to my eveboard sheet beforehand and left me waiting 15/20 mins between questions. On the other hand, I have a contact for months now, think it dates back to my first post about WH in the forums, who checks on me from time to time, but always with free time to answer questions and give tips or just joke. Not part of an alliance, medium sized corp, but I would be the only EU timezone player, so doesn't work out either. The recruiter will often be one of the first contacts you'll have with a corp and can turn the tide depending how the convo goes. You might be asking for a place, but you'll share hours with these people if you get in, so it better feel good from the beginning. It's like applying for a job. "- You want a sandwich, Bacon?"

Lyric Lahnder Noir. Noir. Mercenary Group 56	Posted - 2012.06.04 17:32:00 - [22] - Quote Dont corp hop: change corps frequently. Big turn off to recruiters. Dont let your sec status get too low some corps have requirements for this. Make sure the corp you want to join has a clear vision and that its stated in there mission statement: We are WH corp, We are Pirates, We are miners, We are a null sec alliance member, Dont join corps that say: eh' we do everything or anything we want to day of. They dont last long and they have blase leadership. Check Alliance corporation recruitment forums for adds they will tell you whose recruiting and there requirements. Make sure the corp has A team speak client of some sort: Ventrillo Mumble or TS3 A website Its kind of like there business card/front door. A Forum which they use to stay in touch out of game. Consider these things and your likely hood of finding a good home increases. And remember in the sand box trust is the greatest commodity. Be smart be reliable. Noir. and Noir Academy are recruiting apply at www.noirmercs.comI Noir Academy: 60 days old must be able to fly at least one tech II frigate. I Noir.
