Jobs I wish I was qualified for
Oct. 22nd, 2009 10:55 pmSeen when idly looking at the internal vacancies section of the company intranet:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Job Title: England Cricket Reporter
A vacancy has arisen for the [company]'s England cricket correspondent.
This high-profile role involves reporting on the England cricket team in the UK and abroad.
Based at home - but with extensive travel throughout the year - the successful candidate will be able to display excellent knowledge of international cricket and a sound grasp of the English domestic game.
They will be able to display superb writing skills and have experience of reporting at major cricket matches. In addition, he or she will be able to prove they have good news sense and can file copy quickly and accurately.
The successful applicant will also have an excellent contacts book and be expected to develop strong relationships with governing bodies such as the ECB.
Please apply by email, with CV attached, to [contact name]
-----------------------------------------------------------
So they pay you to go all round the world and watch cricket? OK. *looks sadly at CV*
Mind you, to be fair, the job does involve watching the England cricket team. So I suppose potential suicidal depression would be an occupational hazard, especially on overseas tours.
