	As you can see, people who have a job set to high are far, far more likely to get the job, since if there is only one slot available for a job - like [[Head of Security\|HoS]] - and there is one person who sets that job to high and 20 people who set it to medium, the one person who set it to high will always get the job.

	*Have your favorite job set to high, if you have two favorites or more, set one of them to high, do not have all three set to medium as you will very likely not get them - especially if the jobs have very few slots available.		*Have your favorite job set to high, if you have two favorites or more, set one of them to high, do not have all three set to medium as you will very likely not get them - especially if the jobs have very few slots available.
