The following resumes are posted with the permission of the wizards who applied. In some cases, for instance where the individual does not wish their current employer to know they are searching for work, the names have been withheld. Also, to protect the privacy of wizards from potential Muggle curiosity, and to protect Muggles from wizards inexperienced in the Muggle world, in all cases, employers may ask for more information at employers@hogwartsalumni.com, stating the resume number.

Warning:
We now know that not all Muggles are being affected by the anti-Muggle charms on this site. Take care when considering posted resumes. The following was recently received.

Dear Sir or Madame:

This letter is in reply to your posting on hogwartsalumni.com indicating your need for a Dragon Researcher.

Although I am a muggle and lack several of the requirements listed in the job description, since the restructuring at my former workplace that eliminated my position I have been looking into other careers more in line with my personal interests. I have long held an interest in dragons. When in High School I was an avid player of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and quickly rose through the ranks to become a Dungeon Master. I also think that the Ministry of Magic could benefit greatly by adopting some tools we muggles have created as well.

My resume is attached for your review. If you decide that this job is not open to applications from muggles, I would be grateful for any information that would assist me in finding a more suitable position. I'm in a bit of a hurry to find new employment before the birth of my next child. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss how my background meets your needs and to learn more about the position.

Sincerely,

Paul

Recent cases:
Negotiated plea bargains with the Office of Misuse of Muggle Artifacts.

Most famous case:
A wizard Carl Dennis liked to travel with his entire collection of 5,000 LPs, shrinking and lightening the LPs for easy transport. All was well until he illegally apparated into the back stage area of a rock concert. He was spotted by security and not able to perform an obliviate spell as security pinned his arms to his sides. The muggle police searched his bag and wanted to know what the little black discs were. The only thing he could think to do was tell them it was a new type of technology for storing music. When asked what it was called he looked for inspiration at his initials on his bag and said CDs.

I was able to show he was later involved in creating a muggle safe version. With testimony from wizards who knew the security guards I proved most muggles would not believe their story about appearing from thin air. He was allowed to pay a fine and warned that future apparating into secure and restricted locations would be dealt with severely.

I have used the "muggles who witness events are not reliable" defense, successfully, many times. After some of my cases muggle journalists working for something called tabloids, have been allowed to leave without having their memories changed. The use of a masters degree in muggle studies can not be underestimated in court.

Position:
Looking for a position/short term contract to reverse magic. I quietly and discreetly reverse almost all spells.

Sample Experience:
I saved a client from constant embarrassment and injury by removing anti-theft spells from some magical books. He had purchased the books in an estate sale. The books did not know they had been legally sold and in the middle of dinner parties would shout "I am a stolen book" shrink his ears and squirt ink at everyone in the room. A dropped piece of toast (butter side down) resulted in the loss of a lot of hair and a shirt. Before he contacted me, he became an innovative escape artist.

I not only altered/removed the offending spells, but was able to advise him on marketing a board with two sets of wheels and a handle that he had used to make speedy escapes. Sales of "scooters" are going particularly well in the muggle world.

Experience:
Successfully raised several magical beasts at home.
Dragon experience as a volunteer at the Glansow broom race, in the 2000 dragon incident.
Experience at a magical creatures store.

Stories:
A Common Welsh Green attacked riders in the 2000 Glansow broom race. Most players apparated out of the way, but one rider was determined to finish, and tried to go low to escape the dragon. He got too close to the nest and was badly hurt. Under leadership of Jones Treewythbarynth, 8 volunteers, including myself, distracted the dragon long enough to rescue the injured player.

Reasons for leaving current employer: (if applicable)
Have recently finished NEWTS. Currently working at "Treewythbarynth Magical Creatures". Available immediately.
