Just imagine working for this lad...
Is this perhaps the most self indulgent job ever?
A 28-year-old CEO has posted an ad detailing a part-time personal assistant position at his company on Australian job website Seek — and it has gone viral.
Some of the details of the job include:
- NEVER being able to clock off.
- Extensive duties ranging from content creation to cleaning and property management.
- And most bizarrely “a desire to lead from behind” (whatever that means).
“This will be the most challenging and the most rewarding position you’ve ever had,” the ad begins.
It goes on to describe the position as an “opportunity to look inside the mind of a successful, fast-paced, intense, sometimes chaotic, passionate, easygoing, adventurous 28-year-old entrepreneur”.
“If you want to clock in and clock out of your job — this isn’t for you,” it continues.
“Expect after-hours and weekend calls from time to time. Life doesn’t stop when the work day does — high performers work until their tasks are done, NOT just until the clock runs out.”
If the alarm bells aren't going off already, it just gets worse.
The employer writes about the need to keep up with his “activities and type A personality”, which he admits “isn’t for everyone”.
The ideal candidate should also be able to not “take things personally: it’s NEVER about you!”
It also details that the applicant must be willing to put up with “profanity”.
“Success here will not happen simply by doing what you’re told,” the listing reads.
“You will need to know the desired outcomes, prioritise your time and projects — and make your own decisions as to how to best accomplish our goals.
“From the inner workings of business operations, high-level social soirees, business negotiations, property management and business travel — to handling and owning the challenging moments and tasks that a successful business and bizarre, interesting personal life is built on, you’ll get to experience it all first-hand. With a close relationship, you’ll learn his personality and voice and ultimately manage the majority of his day to day activities, scheduling, correspondence, project management, research and errands — among other activities.”
However, despite all this if you're still interested the job pays $50,000 (€31,1444).
But we don't think there's enough money in the world for this!
