Thick skin, aversion to bolloxology?
Ryanair has posted an advert looking for someone with ‘thick skin, Saint-like patience, and an aversion to bolloxology’.
The role of assistant to CEO Michael O’Leary – described as possibly the worst job in Ireland – also requires candidates with their own collection of nursery rhymes and bedtime stories, an ability to operate without sleep or contact with the outside world, and with (ego) massage qualifications.
According to the ad, Ryanair’s misunderstood but beloved CEO needs someone to help with investment analysis, special project work, general drudgery, and ‘MOL-ly coddling’.
But note: “Dubs fans, Man U supporters and cyclists will not only be automatically excluded from the process, but will be tracked down, tortured and shot."
Anyone interested?
