Silly Job Ads

Every day, I peruse Craigslist looking for possible job openings for Jason and for some of my friends who are looking for work. Once in a while I run across some very strange and funny advertisements!

Last week someone posted a job ad for an administrative assistant at a company where "one of the co-founders is a dog." Therefore, being a dog lover was part of the job description, but as the poster put it, "The final requirement for this job is that you not be allergic to the co-president."

One might also want to add that you shouldn't be terrified of the co-president. I suppose no cats need apply.

In another ad for a dog walking company, the final job requirement was that the applicant not be "an uptight weenie." Therefore, when revising Jason's cover letter, I added the sentence, "I solemnly swear I am not an uptight weenie."

Still, they haven't called. I wonder if they are afraid he can't cut the mustard.

I could probably start a separate blog lampooning the outrageous and sometimes hilarious demands bosses ask of their prospective employees. I'm sure it would make entertaining reading!
