SAMPLE POST
Please provide us a sample of your writing style. This is the most important part of the application. We do expect applicants to have a basic grasp of proper grammar, sentence structure, and the use of a spell checker. Don't worry, we don't critique any individual for failing to make use of a comma, too many commas, or syntax issues. We just want to know that you can write clearly and in a legible fashion.
Please choose from the examples below:
#1) You arrive on the USS Bonaventure, and after your cursory meeting with the Executive Officer and the Captain, you are ordered to report to the quartermaster for your quarter assignment. Upon stepping out of the turbolift, the Bonaventure goes to red alert. You hear an explosion down the corridor and the emergency lighting begins to flicker and dim. You hear the cry of someone calling for help. What do you do?
#2) Your department head sends you out onto a shuttle craft to pick up some supplies at a nearby starbase. This "milk run" is usually a time for you to sit back, relax, and listen to some music or to catch up on your reading. Half way to the starbase, your shuttle detects a power signature that is very close to that of a Romulan Bird of Prey. You haven't been detected, but your sensors indicate that the Bird of Prey is heading toward a Federation colony near the neutral zone that is unprotected. What do you do?
#3) Because you are the top performer in your department, Commander K'rilish selects you to join him and others on an away team mission. While checking the ruins of an ancient alien structure, you care cut off from the rest of the away team when an earthquake collapses part of the ceiling of a corridor that you are inspecting. Unable to raise the away team with your communicator, you begin to search for a way back outside. As you conduct your search, you realize that you are not alone. Something is following you, and from the sounds that you hear, it does not appear to be friendly. What do you do?
