Jobs available

E-commerce consultants. (3 months, extendable to 12 years)

Experience in e-commerce not required. The successful applicant will have no
experience of any of the following: Commerce, computers, the internet, good
taste. A lack of design skills and a fixation with style over content will
also be important.

You should have current experience in gross over-charging and hoodwinking
scrupulous clients. You will work with a bunch of other opinionated
irritating wankers, constructing a series of web-pages with as many 'broken
links' and loose ends as time and money allow.

Bullshitter (3 month contract)

Bullshitter required. You will have at least three years experience of doing
jobs for which you have no skill or aptitude, ideally in a Unix environment.

Skills to include bullshit, ideally to politician level, and waffle in a
technical capacity. Arse-covering skills will be an advantage. CBE
(Certified Bullshit Engineer) qualification essential.

Liar (6 month contract)

You will be working for a prestigious, high-profile company. You must be
able to claim a degree with first-class honours, preferably from Oxford or
Cambridge, and own a car which (although impressive) does not actually
exist. You will also be required to make up stories or explanations on the
hop, so experience of police work will be considered favourably. Ties and/or
certificates are provided to add convincing "colour" to the successful
applicant's statements.

Unix Guru (Rolling one month requirement)

Candidates must have at least three of the following qualities:

  1.. a stupid and unusual hairstyle with goatie beard
  2.. fashion taste which stopped somewhere in the mid-60's
  3.. a lifestyle quite unlike anyone else, or
  4.. a habit of wearing sandals with or without socks.
The ideal applicant will also have a Californian accent. Unix experience not
essential, but some keyboard skills may be useful.

Inexperienced timewaster wanted - urgent contract.

Candidates (under 21 years of age) must be able to fill out at least six
pages of a C.V. with claims of experience and knowledge totalling a minimum
of 150 years. In addition, they must also be able to claim involvement with
hobbies which nobody in their right mind could possibly fit into a lifestyle
which included, for example, sleeping or eating.

The successful applicant will have no real skills in any category
whatsoever, but candidates will be considered providing they do not know
anything about C++ programming or Project Management.

Destruct testers required. (3 month contract, extendable to 6 months)

Clumsy, careless oafs of a naturally foolish nature must demonstrate their
ineptitude with several, briefly-held, positions. The successful candidate
will be asked to break something during the interview, preferably in a way
which the interviewer will never have thought possible or remotely likely.

Scapegoats. (One month contract with bonus on completion.)

Conscientious and hardworking individual. Experienced in customer support
and maintenance, you will have several demonstrable skills which can be used
to show why the interviewers were right to employ you, coupled with a
complete lack of awareness regarding arse-covering.

You will work with a close-knit team of temporary contractors and will
travel from project to project tasked with the job of tidying up the loose
ends to ensure customer acceptance and satisfaction.

Timewasters, timewasters, timewasters.

Contract is for an initial three months and may be extended indefinitely.
