What position are you applying for? Economist
Why do you think you are suited to the position you are applying for? I have self-taught most of the economic theory through Minecraft and YouTube videos due to a lack of formal education opportunities in my real life. Through that process, I have gotten much more practical experience, but also the ability to understand the core of many issues in economics and finance.
In another server, I have led many different organisations throughout the years, from the economics ministry and the central bank to companies and trading halls. All of those leadership positions were fruitful, but more than that, each has given me a different perspective on the economy and issues people face.
Throughout that time, I have also dedicated myself to simplifying and demystifying finance in an attempt to democratize it. I worked on explainers, lectures, and other information sources for the general public to explain just how finances work, not using professional jargon, which I myself do not know, meaning I was able to connect much more with the "regular player."
During my time in DC, in the past few months, I have worked in the FRB, during which time I have both learned policy and helped solve issues, and helped in drafting new policy (though obviously the new guy cannot shape it, just help with writing). While still not released, I have also drafted a public explainer for the FRB to release to the general public as a sort of attempt to explain to those players not interested in finance what the FRB does, how it does it, with examples and simple language, instead of the usual finance-bro talk used that, at best, discourages wide reception.
I have many plans on how to continue such work of explanation and democratisation of the finance world if I am given a job in the DOC, with a plan to encourage good record keeping and information sharing currently very lacking in DC.
Additional Information: I don't know what else to write, but if you have any questions or concerns, I can answer them in the replies.
