Position Vacant

"You know they say, in every man's life there comes a time when he gets struck by the arrow of cupid..." -Xavier Naidoo
Well for those people its a tad more cheerful than depicted above... but seriously, can people stop geting married already!? I'm stuck on the wrong side of all the wedding invitations! I'm also on the wrong side of all the job applications... so a thought struck me (well since no arrows are striking me!)

There is a position vacant for "Husband" at the C r o f t Institute. This is a full time vacancy for one year initially, commencing 2007, with the possibility of ongoing appointment.

The C r o f t Institute is based in Perth, Western Australia.

The successful applicant will be someone who is a collaborative and flexible, humble but with demonstrated intellect and talent. In addition, your background will demonstrate:

  • current understanding of how the female mind works, or a willingness to learn
  • some experience in cooking and cleaning, or the willingness to aquire these skills
  • the ability to play a musical instrument and sing
  • the ability to speak fluently in more than one language
  • the ability to contribute effectively to consultation
  • excellent communication and interpersonal skills in interactions with colleagues, parents and children

Participation in the co-curricular life of the Institute is expected and applicants must support the Baha'i ethos and values of the Institute.

In addition to a vibrant and caring community as your work environment, we offer attractive employment benefits through our C r o f t Institute Enterprise Bargaining Agreement, including competitive remuneration.

LOL !!! Ok, no idea WHERE to begin responding. But OK, I keep it short.

First, VERY creative indeed. But your expectations for finding "employees" are WAY to high for ANYONE. "The ability to understand a womans mind" --- gosh, u really believe that's possible or even remotely achievable?

or willingness to learn!!

there's another line that the schools use that says something like "the applicant should not be discouraged from applying if they do not meet all the selection criteria, selection will be made based on the person best suited for the job"

hahaha, good one venus!
any self respecting husband would realise that there is no such thing as annual leave - unless you like divorce.

How do you feel about tele-conferencing from overseas? Do applicants require Australian working visas? Is there a company car involved? What sort of pension exists? This job looks pretty boring to tell you the truth.

Do you accept summer placements?

Ahahahhaha, it's cold in Canada...

a tele-conference is fine but we need a written application before the interview.

a visa is not necessarily required as the institute may relocate to a pioneer post should the occasion arise.

the company car is a 97 honda civic, hatchback.

unfortunately there is no option of a summer placement, the position offered is with intent of an ongoing position.

...but who knows, anything for dingle! ;)
