The captains right hand man, second in command. The Head of Personnel is in charge of assigning and reassigning crew members correctly, and making sure station departments are well staffed. They also ensure departments run optimally, and stay that way. (and stay that way). Despite being second to captain, they hold the same power as any other head of staff and do not outrank any of them.
Patience is a virtue
A lot of the time you will be asking or answering a lot of questions. A lot of the newcomers on the station will head your way, to find someone to teach them a job. At this point, it would be a good idea to ask what kind of job the newcomer is interested in, and then try to find someone willing to take on a trainee in that line of work. Most people usually use radio communication to make this happen.
Basic department knowledge
It is strongly recommended that you know the basics of what each department does and what access they should have. It will make your job a lot easier.
Basic paperwork
Not as much a requirement as a playstyle. Sometimes you encounter the type of Head of Personnel that demands that you fill in the required forms and get the stamps needed for the transfer. Sometimes people even come asking for permits for various things. It can add a lot of immersion in many cases, and you can find example paperwork on this wiki as well as the basics in how to create your custom paperwork. It is recommended that you at least have read through these guides, or know how to find them in case you decide to immerse yourself in the world of paperwork.
