This should probably be an anecdote, but I found it entertaining. My general resume subscription pushed a resume to me of a candidate looking for a “House Manager” position. House Manager . . . never heard of such a position so my interest was piqued.
Here’s what a House Manager does:
- Coordination of parties and other events
- Personal shopping & errands
- Handling of personal correspondence
- Care of house guests needs
- Keeping the family calendar & appointments
- Assist with travel plans
- Supervision of household staff
- Coordinate automobile maintenance
- Oversee maintenance & service to home
- Occasional driving
- Pet Care
- Household finances (I am a degreed accountant with many years accounting experience)
They are looking for $35/hour for daytime, $40/hour nights and weekends.
If they had listed lawn care, I might have called.
