So the last few weeks have seen much activity on the E-Uni's Work Fair, especially from TRECI who have been running regular month long apprenticeships for Unistas who wish to experience living in a C5 wormhole. The great thing about the forum is that you can see what Corporations and Alliances are looking for, both in terms of skill points and experience but also in some cases like Appetite 4 Destruction (A4D) out of game attributes such as age, attitude and values.
The work fair is a great place for corps and alliances of any size to make themselves a little more visible to the wider community of New Eden, especially as it is frequented by not only current and former members but also many people who just come looking for a little advice, whether that be the 2 day old noob who wants to try his hand at PvP or the 2 year veteran looking to find a new home for his industry alt.
I've been looking at various ads within the work fair area and will freely admit that I find the TRECI apprenticeship a great idea especially as it lets people immerse themselves in what I would considered high end game play due to the trust and teamwork required just to survive in such a dangerous place. This perusing has once again led to minor changes to my skill queue, don't worry it was just a case of moving things up a bit not actual additions, mainly my scanning skills.
The reason I've got these changes in now is twofold, first as I currently reside at the Uni's Null Sec Campus being able to probe down various things like hostile ships but also sites to run is essential for generating content. These skills will also allow me to practice finding signatures quickly and perhaps in the near future move a few things to the Wormhole Campus or take part in the Future Corps sleep over, tentatively scheduled for July at the time of writing.
Why do I want to try these things, because its an area of game play that until now I've not really been concerned with and often there have been others with probes to do scanning making it a low priority. Now though its an area I want to get into, sadly like many others the Odyssey change has led to huge influx of players trying exploration so I doubt I'll be doing so to make lots of ISK but who knows, maybe I'll get lucky.
One final point, which also partially explains the lack of blogging, is a new post within the Uni that I have taken on as part of the Titles staff, having learnt some of the basics of how things work I would strongly suggest that anyone who wishes to attain the graduate medal, teach, or generally make themselves a better player, to give one of these apprenticeships a go, generally players who return from TRECI, Agony Unleashed, Future Corps (and other) hosted events go on to be some of the Uni's finest pilots before moving on to pastures new or joining the illustrious teaching staff at E-Uni.
If you're not a member of E-Uni, perhaps you're not to fussed or are waiting to get in, then remember have a look and see what corps are looking for and see if this matches what you want to do and the best bit is they generally have a public channel which you can join, allowing you to talk to the very people who you may fly with one day. So go out there, engage with various communities and if in doubt, go for it, push yourself and your capsuleers career to the next level.
