Your Job is what NanoTrasen has assigned you to do aboard the NSS Aurora. It defines what equipment you start with, your ID card access, and what you're actually supposed to be doing.
Some useful links:
You should also read up about Corporate Regulations, so you know your rights. Not doing so is considered very bad form for Roleplay
Due to new NanoTrasen equal rights laws, you might encounter some interesting new Species working alongside you.

Call people into your office for employee evaluations.
