Captain Zarnin of Planet Hvan now has five job openings for his battle station: Assistant Engineer, Weapons Maintenance, Field Technician, Radio Specialist, and Security Analyst. After reviewing 30 resumes, he found that 12 of them are not up to his standards and does not consider hiring them. Of the remaining 18 candidates, 6 are skilled in one area only (2 specifically for Weapons Maintenance, 2 for Radio Specialist, 1 for Field Technician, and 1 for Security Analyst).
