I've never thought that in an anarchist society that anyone/method would 
have the power to decide upon who recieves what job. Neither election 
nor random selection should decide someones work and it would be 
meaningless to say that one person had a single job when he might 
participate in numerous other activities that his skills can contributed 
.Jobs should be taken by whoever is doing the work and in that way 
everyone would be able to contribute to their own ability.
