Ryanair posts ad for the 'worst job in Ireland'

There is a job opening at Ryanair, but the famously no-frills company has skipped the typical dream job pitch and is instead offering up the ‘worst job in Ireland.’

The role is as an assistant for its outspoken CEO, Michael O’Leary, and is inviting people with “thick skin”, “saint-like patience” and an “aversion to bolloxology” to apply for the role.

"A bright, ambitious qualified accountant is required to assist Ryanair's misunderstood but beloved CEO and manage a wide range of issues," says the advert, which was posted on the carrier's website.

The successful applicant will work in typical areas like investment analysis, treasury and portfolio management, and special project work, but will be also required to take part in “general drudgery” and “MOL-ly coddling”

Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. What are the essential attributes needed for the job?

- Thick skin

- Saint-like patience

- Aversion to bolloxology

- Own collection of nursery rhymes/bedtime stories

- Ability to operate without sleep or contact with the outside world

- (Ego) massage qualifications

Yikes. Now we understand why even Ryanair admits it’s the worst job in Ireland…

The ad sounds like it could have been written by Mr O’Leary himself.

What the Dublin-based role actually pays has not yet been disclosed, but the ad’s closing note warns: “Dubs fans, Man U supporters and cyclists will not only be automatically excluded from the process, but will be tracked down, tortured and shot.”

Any takers?
