As of today (02 Jan 07) only fifteen people have actually had there application rejected.

However, I get several bounced emails a week from applicants that have misspelt their email address. (I know...I find it hard to beleive as well but, it's true.)

Common mistakes are using a non-ISP email addy, not using your real name e.g:
username: jo
first name: jo
surname: jo
email: jo@hotmaill.com

Another is lying to get into specific groups eg:
joe@newsltd.com.au trying to join jumpers instead of media, and

wannabe@yaho.ccom trying to join jumpers with a profile that reads no rig and no jumps.


I could give another 50 examples but I'm sure you get the idea.

HOT TIP (for this site and life in general)

Be honest.
