	Once you've found a job that looks appealing, you can then <code>~~apply~~ (~~for~~) <~~job title~~></code>.

Once you've found a job that looks appealing, you can then <code>APPLY (FOR) <JOB TITLE></code>. When you apply, there is a background roll to check your stat and skill combination for that particular job. If your roll passes a certain threshold, you will get the job!

But if you want to leave a current job, you can [[Resign command\|RESIGN]] from it at any time and place.

	Generally, as long as you meet the skill requirements you will then be hired for the job. However, some employer NPCs harbor certain prejudices that may make them more or less likely to hire you, or you may have a [[reputation]] that the NPC feels disqualifies you for the job. Don't worry, though -- if you don't get a job in one place, there are usually plenty of other places hiring!		Generally, as long as you meet the skill requirements you will then be hired for the job.
