The Ministry of Magic Placement is now CLOSED
Announcement: Going forward, all SS members are eligible to have
TWO Ministry of Magic characters. Even if you already have a character in play, please consider submitting a second application and joining the fun with a second character. More information below.
Looking for a job for an adult character? Come work in the Ministry of Magic! The placement questionnaire can be found
here and will be open until
February 10th. Make sure you've read the
MoM RPG Rules/FAQ before completing your application (it's not that long!). We've added a guide to help you complete the quiz, as well as an example of a correctly filled out quiz.
Once you've filled out your application, you can visit
Ministry Mingling for more information. Placement is a
lengthy process for the MoM Staff, so please be patient after submitting your application. Your application will literally go through the "hands" of SEVERAL Ministry staffers for consideration and this type of process takes time.
It may be UP TO A WEEK before you hear back from us. We're a thorough lot when finding the right job for
you.
Who can take the Ministry Placement Questionnaire? - Members! All members can apply. You need only to get your ten legitimate posts first. No RPG experience required.
- If you are not currently a member of the Ministry of Magic and would like to be - YOU may apply now!
If you ARE currently a Ministry employee, but wish to change departments - simply retake the questionnaire using your new character. All applicants this sorting will be added as a second character unless specifically noted otherwise.
- If you ARE currently a Ministry employee and wish to change characters within the same department, please note that specifically in questions 17 and 20 on the questionnaire. If you fill out the rest of the questionnaire and do not make it clear that you do not want to be moved, we assume you want a change of scenery and you WILL be moved.
- If you wish to have your current character considered for another job, a promotion, or another department - you may also take the quiz! Just use question 3 for letting us know what your wishes are. We cannot and will not make guarantees, of course, but we will review your character and their job and see what we can offer. Note that promotions will typically come In-Character from your Department Head with character longevity and reliability.
- Second characters cannot be in the same department as your first character. You must have characters in two separate departments.
- Only one character can be sorted at a time. If you are sorting your first character this time around, you’ll have to wait until the next sorting to submit a second character.
Questionnaire: - Use this Guide to help you answer questions!
- An example of a correctly filled out quiz can be found here. Again, it's just an example. You're free to use it as a guide when filling out your quiz.
- All parts of the questionnaire should be filled out in-character (as your character, not as you). There is only ONE question that should be filled out from an OOC perspective, and that's the last question on the quiz.
- Question 14 asks for a letter of reference. Feel free to ask someone on the site to create one for you (only if their character knows your character) or you can create one of your own. Most members create their own.
- The more information that you supply on the application, the better we are able to place your character. Take your time and fill it out thoroughly! The longer the application, the better.
- Please fill out the entire application! Don't skip questions! If you must skip a question, then tell us why in the Additional Comments.
- Please note that questions seventeen and eighteen DO ask you about your placement preferences, but they are NO GUARANTEE you'll be placed or not placed in a particular department. These are just used as guidance when finding the right department for you.
- All departments have both inside and outside jobs, so please don't overlook any one department believing that it is all inside or outside. Your interests on your application will help is place you.
After Placement:
The
only way to change your MoM character is to retake the placement questionnaire when placement time rolls around. So before you fill out your application, you need to think carefully about the character you'd like to play, because you won't be able to change again until another placement opens. The Ministry Placement fits very specific jobs (that are assigned by the MoM staff individually with much care and thought) to your specific character. So, you can't just up and change characters and keep the same job.
If you have questions - you know what to do. Hit up any Ministry Staffer, and we'll be more than happy to help.
Happy Placement! ---------------------------------------- Ho, ho, ho, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
...and no, we haven't gotten our months all mixed up. It's
Christmas and New Year's here in the SS RPGs!
Starting on OOC January 31st, we're giving our current MoM employees, a little IC holiday break. During most of the time placement is open, we'll celebrate the holidays in the RPGs. Because of this, the MoM RPG will be
CLOSED until placement comes to an end. This means that, after the 31st, you won't be able to access the forums during that time period.
Have no fear... there will be a Ministry orientation opening in just a few days. Current and new employees are invited to attend. More information will appear shortly, so keep your dancing shoes on hand and your eyes peeled!
Have a safe and happy holiday season, and we at the Ministry of Magic will see you in January (ish)!
