Serve Talossa, Grow pointy ears, Join the Chancery!

[Glüc da Dhi S.H.]

Azul citizens of Talossa. The Chancery is currently hiring for a number of positions. I do not expect to fill all of the listed positions. I do also not expect to accept all applications., but feel free to apply anyway.

Sadly, there is little reward I can offer. All positions are voluntary, which means there is no financial compensation. You will however have a chance to serve your community, perhaps get more tasks in the future and if you do well be considered for even more respectable offices (all of which also unpaid presumably.)

Workload and requirements depend on the position. In generally you are expected to be a citizen of Talossa in good standing, be reliable (not suddenly go AWOL) and either have knowledge of or be interested in learning about the laws and traditions that are related to your office. You are also expected to be a regular visitor of witt. Many of the functions require you to have access to sensible information, which means you need to be highly trustworthy. Depending on the position partisan activity (campaigning, filling a party office) is either discouraged or not allowed. Being a party member is allowed for all functions, but in some cases discouraged. Many of the positions also require you to deal with me and accepting that your decisions may sometimes be overruled. Communication skills and showing initiative are also generally a pre.

New citizens are advised to apply for State Elf in charge of the Hopper or State Elf in charge of Preparations.

Apply by replying to this post, sending me a pm, facebook/whatsapp message or email. Please include what position or positions you are interested in and how much time you expect to be able to spend on this.

Apologies for the (very long) delay in getting back to the people who responded. I will contact everyone who did before next wednesday.

Two appointments have been made: https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=253.msg1511#new

The Chancery is still accepting applications for the other positions. (Just keep in mind that recent history suggests I may take a while to respond, and also the same caveats apply as before.)

[Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB]

As this thread was the plans of the previous Secretary of State, none of these positions will be filled. The Chancery is re-evaluating the roles of already appointed Deputies and will announce any changes in personnel as soon as possible.



Dr. Txec dal Nordselvă,
Secretary of State
