Have you ever wanted to be part of a high-performing team while working passionately in a field you love? Have you ever wished you could bestow a sense of purpose upon those around you? Have you ever named an entire litter of kittens?

We are currently seeking bright and talented individuals to fill some vacancies in our Naming Office! This opportunity is your everyday, run-of-the-mill job opening. Nothing unusual about it. Just the result of typical workplace attrition. Nothing at all to do with that terrible gossip you've been hearing about that incident at the tar vats. We know that tar babies, each a component of a whole, are highly resistant to attempts to be individualized. Now.

Though previous industry experience is not required, potential applicants must have the following:

-Strong desire to work with like-minded individuals
-Passion for naming, and naming-related activities
-Copious amounts of stick-to-itiveness
-A pair of boots

Job duties include:

-Naming just about everything you see
-That's pretty much it

We will be accepting applications until roughly, negative 791 weeks, 1 day from now. Simply post in this thread indicating your intent to apply for the position. Every applicant will be guaranteed an interview. Interviews will begin shortly after applications close. More details will be provided then.

Do not stress about the interviews! They will be very informal and require only a small amount of your time. I do ask, however, that if you are going to participate in the application process, that you display an ability to take a joke and laugh at yourself. Grumps are automatic no-hires.

We are looking to fill three positions, and will reward new hires with the following signing bonuses:

Chief Alias Distributeer - 100 rank points + an item from the Prize Pile
Senior Moniker Coordinator - 50 rank points
Handle Designationist - 25 rank points


Edit: Interviews have begun!

Edit 2: Submission topic here!

I believe that I would make an excellent Chief Alias Distributor. Although I may just be a cad instead.

Formally, I intend to apply for the position!

Dear Mr. 3000,

I am writing to apply for the position of Chief Alias Designator. The business of naming has interested me greatly ever since the terminological successes of the early Bush 43 administration. I believe that a candidate such as myself with a highly advanced technical degree and nearly a decade of experience with the terminology of scientific research would be a great asset to the Naming Office. I take great pride in my ability to laugh at myself, and would like to stress that my superior ability to laugh at others as well makes me an excellent team player in this environment.

Sincerely,
Dischorran

Dear Robobob:

I hereby designate you the Chief Alias Designator Designator. Which more or less automatically makes me the Chief Alias Designator Designator Designator, which means that I should of course become the Chief Alias Designator as well to prevent needless duplication duplication.

You can interview me during your upcoming performance review.

To whom it may concern,

After reading your job offer in The Eighth Times I believe that I might be a perfect candidate for the position.

Please, feel free to contact me for the interview.

Yours sincerely,
Bombadil

I am the very model of a modern naming bureaucrat,
The Eightian equivalent of a polyglottal Eurocrat,
This dizzy height I've reached with my obsession with nomenclature,
I just hope you're not expecting me to make them all rhyme as well.

I am considering contacting 42nd Negotiator to file a complaint with the Bureaucracy Complaints Office because the positions advertised do not seem to conform to the position naming conventions due to their lack of ordinal numbers. In the meantime, however, I hereby express my interest in these positions in case they are genuine.

And in the case that they are genuine, allow me to note that I am clearly a good candidate for these positions as I have already noticed three naming errors.

OOC: I take it there is no contest for October, then?

I have taken the liberty of renaming October to November, in order to preserve consistency.

No charge.
