Strong attention to detail required, they say?

[Chipsticks]

If this was in 4 years time and I'd finished my degree and looking for a full-time job this would be perfect for me. Grrrr.

Yeah, they require it because they don't have it.

There's at least one requirement on there that means Mr Shin would not get the job

It's a bit over the top just to be the new Mascot.

[UK Redsox]

If the Aston Villa "Fan Squad" is anything like similarly named groups that I've seen in the USA, the job just involves firing t-shirts into the stands from a giant air gun.

[lovejoy]

Seriously, if the benchmark is "exceeds minimum wage", its not going to make you rich is it?

Another Hercules hasn't been sacked has he ?

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

A calm and composed demeanour ?

When anywhere near the Villa ?

[GarethRDR]

I'd have applied 5 years ago, the job would probably have paid £20k a week under MON.

He is just about still here. Rumours on Twitter saying Spurs are guaranteed to get him in a mega treble your money deal. 8.50 per hour.

Depending on who you ask it would be anything from one to all of them.

What's the deal with zero hours contracts? I just don't get why anyone would sign up for one.
