What was your previous guild(s), your status in that guild(s), and why did you leave it/them?I had been in two guilds this expansion, officer in one and core raider in another, both guilds were relatively young. Both ended up going through a cycle of dying -> merge -> reform -> dying. I left my most recent guild as a result of a core disband which was out of my control and then following players I had enjoyed playing with into a very disappointing new guild I did not enjoy playing in - one that I would not have applied for on my own.

Additional QuestionLast but not least. Tell us about yourself. Who are you behind your character? We want to make this a great guild with a good atmosphere so make sure to convince us and impress us that you are the right person for the guild. Sell yourself like you would in a job interviewIf you have any extra talents that could benefit us. For example: Coding, graphics (anything really)Real life:
28 y/o South African gamer, video gaming remains a hobby of mine for nearly two decades. I am formerly an import/export agent, now a retail store owner (leather ware and clothing). I was raised in a 80% English - 20% Afrikaans background, fluent in both languages. Despite some times looking too formal / serious in written text, I am in reality quite calm and easy-going.
WoW:
I started playing WoW mid-Classic as a dumbass, developed my raiding skills in TBC, pushed it further by raidleading EU-Bladefist server first 25-man kills during WotLK. I missed out on most of Cata - MoP due to a blend of work and general lack of interest in the content. Since then I migrated to Tarren Mill pre-Method and slowly got back into the game and have been progressing at an averaging pacing.
Despite what looks like a shockingly high latency to most European players, my latency is not a problem, 200ms in Europe usually indicates crazy lag, 200ms in South Africa is just a very small delay, in a gcd based game like WoW - or even games like Diablo 3 or Overwatch - it is not a problem. I have had no major disconnects or lag - no more than average European players at least.
Raiding / Guild:
As a raider, I always make sure that I am self-sufficient, both in consumables and in mechanical knowledge. I always make sure I learn about bosses through written or video guides before I fight one. I use Icy Veins as a rough guide for my spec. The BM hunter guide writer on IV mains MM, so info is often delayed and on a couple of occasions I ended up simming and theorycrafting on my own weeks before builds were updated on Icy Veins or class Discord.
In Closing:I've grown very, very tired of guild disbands that are no faults of mine and having to deal with resulting consequences. I am looking for a guild with a respectable history to stay in and remarkable people to play with long term.
I understand that you are currently on break until Antorus and that is ok with me.
