Posted by Civilian Revna Freya McKenzie (Resident) in Federation Embassy- Hiring the Staff
The night before had been late and busy and wonderful. Revna was reply proud and impressed with all the work Seamus, Ragna, Capall, and Runa had done to get everything and everyone ready. It was going to be hard, but the results magnificent. That morning she had risen early, dressed, helped for a few hours before the sun was truly up, then changed to meet with Mathis. She rode in one of the shuttles with several people who had ro goninto the city proper. She walked the rest of the way.

She was right on time, if a but early, when she was let in to the embassy and led to Mathis’ office where the door stood open. She knocked softly so she wouldn’t disturb any work going on.

Jeannette was at her desk and lifted her head at the knock. She gave Ragna a smile and waved her in. “Good morning. Please, have a seat.” She was a bit more rested than when Ragna saw her yesterday, but there were deep shadows under her eyes. “How are you today?” she asked with sincere interest.

She slid a PADD over to Revna. “So, this is the long list that the Lieutenant Governor and I came up with. I’m still working on getting access to Dash’s external files, and he had a list himself that we were going to combine with mine. So we just had to re-do it and this is what we have. The positions we need to fill are two Administrative Clerks, Consular Officer, Consular Assistant, Staffing Manager, Public Affairs Officer, Management Officer, Grounds Manager, and a Resource Coordination Assistant. Those were our first priorities to make this place functional enough to be open to the public. Right now we’re just cobbling along with people employed elsewhere who are helping about until positions are filled. And of course, every person who works here must be security vetted and be able to obtain special security clearance. Criminal records won’t be automatic disqualifiers, but it very much is a case by case basis depending on the nature of the record.” She blew out a breath and gave a weary smirk. “I was going to have Dash do a lot of the preliminary interviews so I could focus on the Vren, but I don’t want to assume what your comfortable with and we really need to be doing these interviews asap.”
