What will be your role in zombie apocalypse ?

These are not always selected, but a good chain of command led by a commander should be able to keep everything in check. They need to be good tacticians in dealing with both zombies and bandits. It may make them unpopular and possibly marked men, but commanders need to lay down the law and keep their nerve in stressful times

These are more useful in the city than in the country. They will need to know vital locations of their designated areas like shortcuts, choke points, dead ends, and more. Scavengers go out to map locations, gather supplies, and look for other survivors. Keep them small, like a group of three to six, so they don't attract too much unwanted attention. Make sure they are fit enough to carry a large load of supplies, run from danger, or engage in hit and run conflict. Former players of running sports and those who are quick on their feet are excellent for this role.

In any society, the sick and injured need proper treatment. Everyone should know first-aid and other life-saving techniques, but a professional would be advisable.

Infections spread quickly to hospitals and this profession may become scarce. Although one cannot afford to be picky, it is preferred to have medics or general practitioners than a chief executive.

Other forms of doctors will be necessary. Vets can help injured or sick animals, psychiatrists can help keep people in good mental health. Even scientific doctors will help store knowledge, although this is more useful in the aftermath.

These are the primary food providers of their refuge. Farmers and farm hands are highly important if land is available. They know how to grow and manage crops and control livestock. They know the soil, what can grow, how much water it will need, and much more. Without farmers or knowledge on how to grow food, supplies will run out and scavenging will not always help keep survivors nourished. It is best to learn these skills prior to the inevitable outbreak.

When in a moderately large or larger group, people need to set up a form of rationing to save supplies. In this situation, it is best to take a Socialist aproach in which all members are given the same rations if they are pulling their weight. This does not mean to refuse any supplies to a member who is unable to provide supplies or has had a run of bad luck, however. It is suggested that this is a side job for someone who is trustworthy and fair, as well as knowing simple math. These people could end up being some of the most important in a colony, as they can regulate how much people take.

These are more useful in the country than in the city, as they have a natural sense of the terrain. Hunting either zombies or whatever animals remain in the area, these can help keep the supplies coming in or threats such as feral animals under control. They can supply meats, furs, bones and help clear lone zombies from the area.
