Deputy Minister(s) Wanted!

[Randolph]

wishing to join

I'm new here and would love to get involved. I've been playing Civ since its conception (and spent more time then I would care to admit, beside to fellow fanatics), and I wish I knew about this earlier. I would gladly do any service that would be useful. I'm not quite sure what else to say... should I attach a resume? Give me some details on what you would like I'd I'll get on it. Perhaps I should also hone my diplomatic skills, as it is not always one of my stronger points.

I would be happy to serve in any government position that is open. I am free from active service now, having been honorably discharged from the army after severing the head of a rather large (not to mention drunk) Persian general by the name of Arximander. I am skilled in most things, be it having to do with trade, foreign work, military service, or governorial positions. If there is any opening anywhere, I should like to be informed.

Sorry, guys. I hadn't expected this thread to get retopped.

Right now I'm not looking for additional deputy ministers, as we're pretty much full, but I still would like those of you who are very interested in the world of Foriegn Affairs to take a look at the Foreign Ministry Office thread and see if there's something we're missing. Perhaps you can propose a needed job that currently does not exist.

I have nothing against adding a person or two to the staff ... I just need to have something specific for you to do.

To be totally honest, I can't think of any more jobs in the Ministry -- we've got FIVE people (or something like that) working here already, and there isn't that much to do .

Having said that, if anyone's planning on trying what Togas suggested (finding a spot for themselves and suggesting it), here's what I'd recommend. You stand the best chance if you come up with some innovative idea for a new public resource the ministry could produce, a new organizational position, or some useful but currently unhandled analytical job. It'll take a very innovative mind; I think we're basically out of 'official' Foreign Ministry jobs (jobs that handle issues addressed in the CoL) -- we have at least three people doing that in some function. We are, however, very proud of the amount of information we provide to the public, and I know that Togas is always open to new ideas -- the past two terms have been a first in many ways.

Right now (for those who haven't seen the Office Thread), I'm Vice-Minister, E_T's doing Trades, Nimitz is doing general advice, and GePap's producing a high quality Foreign Civ's report, with Togas being the minister. As I said, not too many gaps, so it'd probably have to be a very innovative idea for there to be a unique function. Sadly, I have no suggestions, but I may have been around long enough that I'm getting old and rusty .

All I can say is good luck -- I honestly also had no clue that this thread might resurface, so this is all off the top of my head, but I hope it might be of some use to someone.

EDIT:
Sorry everyone, this is a total accident, just looking through this thread. Didn't mean to post and top this up... Please do not apply for next term (Term 5) here, the appropriate thread for that is: New Foreign Ministry Deputies Needed
