Alright, let's look at your sheets, then.
First, a word about sizes: 'big' and 'average' are relative terms. What's big for a bird is small for a horse. If your character is sized like their species is normally, use the species to tell me that [elephant sized, twice the size of a sparrow, half sized for a horse]. If humanoid, let me know if they are human sized or animal sized or somewhere in between.
second: note that i have a discord linked in the description. I think that link is a permanent invite. It's a pretty quiet discord, but a good place to yell at me if I am slow to update. I also hang out in Piecewise' discord a lot, so if you play any of his games, you'll find me there.
third: it will be a great help to me to include your character sheets, or a link to them, in your action posts. IF you put your sheet in the post, put it in a spoiler, please.
finally: I'll try to give the briefing on Friday morning and get started with the action on Saturday. Feel free to do a little role play as you wait. get to know each other. I might put in some RP myself for anyone that needs further instructions on the application process. I work a kind of strange night shift schedule, so my posting times and days might seem a bit weird at times.
Name: Gershom Sauermann
Animal Species: Intelligent Raven. (Too smart for his own good, as his numerous relatives will proudly complain to you.)
Job / Class: Hypnotherapy Postgraduate / Mental Wizard
Special Trait:
Voice of Sauermann, a widely-known secret technique that was passed down in the Sauermann line for generations. It was first developed by a legendary wizard of yore who was also too smart for his own good.
If I pick my words carefully and control my tone of voice, I can speak in such a way that anyone hearing me will feel a strong, deep desire to agree without thinking.
Stats
Mind: 4
Strength: 0
Dexterity: 0
Equipment (start with 100 monies)
20 monies: Magic Focus (Mental Magic), a walnut-sized crystal ball fitted to a collar, which shows anything I want it to show and magically attracts the attention of anyone who sees it.
30 monies: Spellbook (Mental Magic). Well, it's more like a monography: an enormous, horribly dry tome on all the spells that were ever known to influence minds. It's a great aid in hypnosis all by itself, since it drives lesser minds into stupor within minutes of trying to read it.
50 monies: Autonomous Helper "Bot". One of the burlier orangutans from my class, enthralled by roughly equal amounts of magic and Voice of Sauermann to worship my obviously superior intelligence and assist me with tasks that I can't be bothered to do.
This looks good. your special trait is well worded to tell me exactly what it can and can't do, and what you need to do to make it work. add a size descriptor (I added that after you posted), and you'll be great.
the cat hops down off the desk, strolls over, sniffs your wing, then looks across the room to the only other exit - an open doorway leading to a dimly lit hall."Conference room." He meows, before sinuously stepping around you to the next applicant.

Job / Class: Wannabe mech pilot
Special Trait: Tech Wiz (June is naturally proficient with technology and can almost always use even tech she's never encountered before.)

Equipment
Armored Quadrupedal Lifter (A heavy lifter with four mechanical legs and arms for lifting cargo. Modified with forwards-facing steel plates to protect the driver. June nicked it from her old job as a Warehouse worker.)

Breathing Mask (A rubber and plastic "mask" encompassing the funnel and breathing aperture, linked by a pair of tubes to a water tank strapped under the mantle. The water tank also includes a small machine that aerates the water and a removable filter for waste.)
Looks good. size indicator is perfectly descriptive and gives a clear understanding of their character. add a size for the Lifter (standard forklift size is what we discussed, I believe)
"Oh. It's you." The cat says, flicking an ear toward the hallway before moving on.It's day 734 and they still don't suspect a goddamn thing. I was laughed at before because I was a furry. Mocked, physically attacked, even. But now I'm the one chuckling under my rather realistic cat-man mask. I put good money into this fursuit.
And it was fucking worth it.

30 Monies
The cat stops between two candidates, eyeing them each, tail twitching in mild irritation. "You."He growls at the 'cat.'"Why are you here? Why do you want to work here?" before he can answer, the cat turn to the fox, "What kind of enchantment is on that knife?" He asks, standing on his hind legs and pawing at the hilt in unabashed curiousity. Name: Blarg

Mind: 1
Strength: 2
Dexterity: 1
Equipment:
Standard firearm: A Mauser C96, an old as dirt ten round semi-auto hand gun, it appears to have been gold plated.
Standard melee weapon: An old dingy golf club, from the looks of it its a nine iron.
standard armor set: A black business suit with a Kevlar vest underneath it.
20 monies
that golf club will be too weak to be counted as a basic melee weapon, on account of it likely bending or breaking in combat, unless the handle is reinforced.if he carries 3 or four of them together, that would count. otherwise, deduct half the cost and consider that a makeshift weapon. Also, a Kevlar vest counts as half armor, as it only protects the torso. add a helmet or some lower body and limb protection to make it a full set, or else call it half armor and deduct the cost accordingly.
"Conference room." The cat meows in Blarg's direction, still pawing at the Snow Fox's knife.Name: Kongor X (Couldn't think of a better name, mostly)

From his position with the Gorilla, the cat chitters at the Cardinal, ears flicking in interest. "Scientist? Thats wya too broad. What kind of science? Biology? Chemistry? Physics? Metaphysics? Cooking? Bring me food, and come to the conference room. Hurry up, I haven't got all day, and I'm starving. there's nothing to eat around here at all!"
