Once he'd found the employment office, Jay went inside and sat down, waiting for one of the employees to finish up whatever work they were busy with so he could speak to them. Having never been to an employment office before, and certainly not one in a place like this, Jay didn't know what to expect. He didn't have much experience, and wasn't sure if that mattered. After all, it was impossible to verify any experience he may have, anyway, which wasn't much. He'd only had college and a few co-ops.

Fortunately, the clothes he'd arrived in were nice enough. He had freshly washed them for this, of course, and had bought other clothes while there, but the black slacks, dress shoes, white dress shirt and tie seemed to be an adequate way to dress to come here. He felt like he was as ready for this as he conceivably could be, and now he sat, hands folded in his lap, glancing around while he waited, looking over at the slightest bit of movement.

The office is neat and bright with a few plants on the windowsill. It's clear that Akalamdug makes an effort to make his workspace welcoming to all those that feel the need to visit him.

"Tea?" Might as well start with the pleasantries.

"No thanks, I'm fine." Jay wasn't a big tea drinker, after all. "So how is this done, anyway? I mean, without references or anything."

"You tell me a bit about what you did in your homeworld and I'll give you some suggestions of guilds that are looking for people." It's not a very in-depth process, but at least there's something being done by the Personification Initiative to help newcomers settle in.

"I just graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering back on my home world when I was brought here." The process sounded simple, but Jay was perfectly fine with that, and would be as long as there turned out to be guilds interested in his skills. "And I heard one guy mention that he was from the year 2020, so I guess I should mention that I'm from 2011, so the technology I'm used to working with is...well, it's Earth technology from 2011."

"And what sort of jobs did you hold back on Earth? If you've a CV that makes this even easier." Akalamdug's job is to try and match people up with suitable guilds and, in turn, it's the guild's responsibility to police and vet their members.

"Actually, yes. It's not very extensive, since like I said, I just got out of school, but I had a couple co-ops at Crane Electronics optimizing designs and helping to build prototypes." He reached over to a folder he'd brought in and set aside, not knowing if he'd need it, and took out a very short CV and handed it over. Other than those co-ops and his degree, there really wasn't anything yet.

"I'll make a few calls," he says, taking up the resumé and reading it over before putting it down, "And if it goes well, I'll have a list of guilds you can talk to in a day or two?"

"Thanks," he said, smiling a little and picking up his now empty folder. "Is that all you'll need for now?"
