Seeking director who can do more than just talk to the dead - salary 5300 euros for keeping secrets

The State Forensic Medical Examination Center is looking for a new director after Egils Harasimjuks decided after ten years that enough is enough with consulting the deceased. Now Inga Martinova has temporarily taken his place, who as deputy director has long known where all the center's skeletons are hidden in the closets.

The new manager is offered 5300 euros per month, which is almost as much as the average Liepāja resident earns in three months. But the money isn't free – the candidate must be as spotless as Liepāja beach sand and be able to keep state secrets better than Karosta keeps its Soviet-era mysteries.

"We need someone who can not only chat with the dead, but also explain to the living why some things are better left unknown," comments a local expert. "And English at B2 level is necessary – where would we be if foreigners had to die in Latvian!"

The requirements are stricter than entry to Liepāja's most elite cafés – higher education needed, three years of management experience, and the ability to understand both EU directives and why money disappears from the state budget faster than tourists from Liepāja during autumn storms. At least this time you don't need to know how trams work – it's enough to understand why people die.
