There is nothing more frustrating than having a question and not knowing where 
to go for an answer.  I am a historian-researcher.  I hold a Master's in History 
from the California State University at Chico.  My special feild of interest ins 
the American Frontier and Westward Movement.  This takes me into several fields 
of study; the American discovery, the Colonial period, the opening of the 
Northwest Territory, Kentucky, Tennessee, the trans-Mississippi movement, the 
California period and the settlement of the West.  In addition, I have a deep 
interest in Ancient History and the Middle Ages.  I have always been a trivia 
enthusiast and have a fairly extensive library of arcane knowledge.  I feel my 
broad background and access to a wide variety of research sources will enable me 
to provide Google with fair, accurate and succint answers for its subscribers.

Request for Question Clarification by researcher-ga on 22 Apr 2002 08:30 PDT

What exactly is your question? Could you phrase it more concisely

It seems you want to apply to be a Google researcher, but don't know
where to do it.

Start here: [https://answers.google.com/answers/main?cmd=apply]

Read the FAQ: [https://answers.google.com/answers/faq.html]

Read the Researcher Guidelines:
[https://answers.google.com/answers/researcherguidelines.html]

Take care of Step 1, which is writing a short essay describing why you
would do well as a Google Researcher.  You seem to have done this
above, but you might want to proofread it again and clarify what would
make you a good researcher before listing your areas of expertise.
[https://answers.google.com/answers/main?cmd=apply&step=1]

Once you've submitted your essay, be patient.  It will be read by
several people before being advanced to the second stage, which is
answering a set of sample questions.  Following submission of your
sample answers, you'll need to be patient again while they are checked
for accuracy by the Answers staff.

Good luck with your application.

Try again, bucko... though I think it might be seen as a point against you that 
you didn't really seem to read through everything. :-)

.BF.

Well, at least you didn't say that you're really good with computers (or 
following instructions).  ;-)

As Google indicates: doe a proofreading for the application. Use for example MS 
word to find out which words were not spelled correctly.

I have been waiting over 1 month to be accepted, I filled in the
essay, i answered the 3 questions but haven't heard a thing!

Patience.

And keep in mind that submitting an application *does not* mean you'll
automatically be accepted.

I went through the entire application process and was declined.  It
took forever.  Oh well.
