One legacy of an earlier period of job seeking is a daily job-vacancies email I receive from Monster.com. I've never bothered to suspend it (partly out of laziness and partly out of the feeling that, who knows, maybe something worthwhile would come along), and I usually take a quick look through the offerings.
Today, among the usual openings for 'Lead Consultant SAP', 'Junior Berater für den Bereich Business Development' and 'Leiter, Abteilung IT-Entwicklung' was one that I've never seen before.
Clown.
This is for German-speakers only it seems, (the full-time, permanent position is in Würzburg), judging by what is probably the most poetic job description I've ever seen.
But I note that along with a salary of €20-25k it offers not only a costume but also a tent ('Zelt').
What more could you want?
Ein Job für mich, vielleicht?
ReplyDeleteHast Du einschlägige Berufserfahrung? Die wird nämlich erwartet.
ReplyDeleteWürzburg's a nice town, though. It's worth considering...
But I guess I just don't like Kinder all that much.
Ja habe ich – niemand nimmt mich ernst.
ReplyDeleteOh Francis, Du alter Jammerlappen! :-)
ReplyDeleteSecond nature, innit. Ich bin Brite.
ReplyDeleteTears of a clown?
ReplyDeleteWhatever happened to the old stiff upper lip, then?
ReplyDeleteStiff upper lip? A decade of ZanuLab rule has knocked that out of us, for sure. The nation has gone distinctly flabby, and in more ways than one.
ReplyDelete"Flabby", huh?
ReplyDeleteI reckon someone's fishing for compliments ....
My flatmate is unemployed. He got a job description from the Job Centre for the post of Santa Claus in a store. The salary wasn't much, but there was an inducement:- "May lead to permanent position."
