To apply for this position, please send your resume and cover letter directly to my office. We will be conducting interviews in the following months. Please note that this will be a lengthy process as we want to ensure we hire the perfect person for the job.

If anyone would like to discuss their current position, promotions or pay raises, please make an appointment with me ASAP and we can discuss the possibilities.

OOC: Welcome back! Thank you for waiting while we reorganized and cleaned up the Ministry AND got
a new Minister! The Ministry is now open. Please note that it is currently April IC, rather than January, when we normally begin a new Ministry term. The Ministry has been closed for several months, following the impeachment of Morgan Nickels, the previous Minister.

If you are interested in the Junior Undersecretary position, just send me a PM! You don't have to create a legitimate resume or cover letter for your character, just send me an employment history of your character as well as a paragraph or two of WHY they would be good for the job.

If you have any questions, just shoot me a PM!
