It has been a while since we have done this Monday thing so here is something amusing to start your week. CareerJournal.com offers Drinking on the Clock Is OK for This Position.
Opening graph:
If drinking beer on the clock and traveling to Oktoberfest in Munich on the company dime sounds like a dream job, there are still nine days left to apply for the newly created post of chief beer officer at the Four Points by Sheraton hotel chain.
I’ve been to Munich but not during Oktoberfest. I have also stayed at a handful of Four Points by Sheraton hotels. If they hire based on experience, I can probably land this job.
But there is competition . . . lots of competition:
By yesterday, officials at Four Points’s parent company, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., had received more than 5,500 applications from beer lovers in 31 countries. In addition, scores of current Starwood employees have signaled their interest in the part-time job that comes with no salary, but plenty of perks.
“No salary, but plenty of perks.” I love that line. Try dropping that into your next sales employment ad and see what type of response you get. I doubt you would see 5,500 resumes.
