When BBM was blasted for using the phrase ‘must have big tits’ in an advert for a job as our receptionist, we listened to the many complaints that flooded in, realised we were in the wrong and rectified our error. Now the ad just says ‘big tits preferable’. This proves that anyone who accuses BBM of being sexist is just a dumb, blonde bitch who probably needs a good seeing too (insert Sid James laughter here).
Well finally there’s a job advert out there that’s even more unappealing than ours. The US publishing group Dalkey Archive Press apparently have a vacancy for an intern. Perks of the job include working weekends and evenings, abandoning your personal life, and doing whatever you’re told – all for no pay. Oh, and you can be sacked on the spot for taking personal phone calls, gossiping or using the internet during office hours – or even for offering some friendly advice.
The conditions are so cack it was described as the ‘worst job description ever’ by the New York Observer. The ad goes on to state the only applicants who need apply are those who ‘do not have any other commitments (personal or professional) that will interfere with their work at the Press’. Anyone thinking of applying is not told how long the internships last but if they secure a paid job they should be ‘willing to start off at a low-level salary’.
The company’s US director John O’Brien told the Irish Times: “I’ve been swamped with emails – I wish they’d stop: I’ve work to do – and with job applications.”
But do any of the applicants have big tits John? That’s the big question. And while we’re on the subject, the reception position is still open, although we should warn you that we have a very ‘hands on’ policy when it comes to checking if an applicant’s ‘talents’ are real or fake.
Have your say @BBMLive
