The night shift is growing. As of this week, we are accepting applications for six roles we have never filled before.

- A frustratingly present black cat
- A vampire capable of only a mild glamour
- A pegasus, for a mythical haunt
- An invisible skateboarder
- An old sea captain who has seen things he cannot explain, but will try, slowly and captivatingly
- Monsters under the bed, for customers with lodging vacancies (six openings)

## How to apply

Read the full descriptions on the [Careers page](https://www.sleepyhollowsecurity.com/careers). Include a note about yourself and, if you cannot be seen, a description of yourself anyway.

### A note on hiring

We hire on judgment, discretion, and the ability to write down what happened. A loud presence has its uses. It does not excuse a careless record.

**Corrections.** An earlier version of this article listed the pegasus’s compensation as “premium oats.” The pegasus has asked for the oats to be described as ethically sourced. Done.
