EVE New Citizens Q&A

A few misses won't ruin your employment history, so don't worry about it TOO much. One good way to find good corporations is to look for corps that have a lot of people from the same region/state/country/continent you live in. Being able to meet your corp mates live is fun.

Grrrr Cara.


I wonder how OP didn't see the sticky about this though....



Also, if a corp dismisses you on ground of who you have been with in the past that easily. They aren't a good corp in the first place IMO.

A corp should always value the person behind the keyboard well above the corp history (unless corp history clearly shows he is a spy/thief/corp hopper).

Also, do a lot of research before you join any corp, don't just blind hop into the first corp that spots your interest. Keep searching, you might come across an even better match. Take your time, plenty of ways to be social while not in a corp directly.

Recruiter chiming in. As long as you are not trying to "defect" (join a corp to which your current corp is outright hostile) don't worry. Finding a corp can be hit and miss, so a few misses won't be held against you. Try to dedicate at least some time to one corp before moving on. Short, decisive lists look attractive, although lots of veteran players have a big list of ex-corps so I'm usually not too worried about it. As a new player you don't want to be in an elitist group with tight security and no content for newbros.

My best tip? Get on comms with people. It just has to click on a social level. The rest is sort of - whatever - emergent gameplay. I'd rather jump on comms with enjoyable people and do nothing, then do big spacebattles while listening to raging sperglords and inflated egos. Comms are all that matters, the actual game is just window dressing.

Most recruiters understand that a person ends up joining a few corporations before they "settle down", so unless you plan to join 10 different corporations in your first month without any "good" reason for leaving them you shouldent worry to much about it.
However, even if you end up doing quite a bit of corp jumping recruiters are often willing to give you a chance if you can provide a reasonable explanation as to why you left them.
With reasonable i mean something along the lines off... I did not like their attitude towards other players, requirements that you were not informed about prior to joining, reverse safari.. you get the idea.

But, do your research, use the guide that is linked further up, and dont rush into joining the first corp that is willing to accept you.

I have removed a rule breaking post.

Please refrain from direct recruiting in NP Q&A.
