Staff Wanted
As you may (or not) be aware I am in the market for a new job. In fact in about 3 weeks time I hope to be starting new employment and I am frantically attaching my CV to all kinds of applications. I dream of finding that one job that is parent friendly and fabulously flexible, no more worrying about taking a sick day to look after your own kids! But………….. how nice would it be to be able to be my own boss, employ my own staff and make up the rules instead of towing the line to someone else’s plans, ideas, rules and regulations. What would you put in your advert if you were taking on staff?
Staff Wanted.
Staff wanted to join a thriving new company aimed at encouraging and nurturing parents and children alike.
Must be able to talk for hours on end about topics previously thought taboo, including but not limited to bowel movements, sleeping habits or lack of, the best way to multi task with just one hand available and changes to a post baby body.

A love of cake with tea/coffee is a necessity.
Flexi hours as standard.
Work from home available too.
Weekends/late nights negotiable unless wine is involved then is an absolute must.
No experience necessary life skills will be learnt on the job.
Childcare can be arranged, parent child days encouraged.
Wage to be discussed (will cover all bills and a smidgen of sanity)
Please apply within.
What do you think? Any chance I will be lucky enough to find a job like this? No? Wish me luck I may need it!

I would most definitely apply for your advert! You had me at wine! 🙂 #KCACOLS xx
I have worked for myself almost all my adult life so have my dream job I guess. Good luck with the job hunting, I hope you find the perfect one for you 🙂 Kaz x
Sounds very much like my last job, have you considered joining the Civil Service?
Great! This made me chuckle, I’m not looking for a job atm but if I was I think my terms of employment would be pretty similar! Great idea 🙂

Hahaha great post, and good luck with finding that job!!! I think it sounds like an ideal job, though blogging full time would definitely trump it 🙂
Thanks for sharing with @withfranca #KCACOLS and hope you link up next week x
Oh if only! For me I would have to include, happy to make endless amount if nutritious food to be thrown on the floor until biscuits are produced! Good luck with your search, or alternatively good luck with your writing career! X #KCACOLS
Great post and good luck with all those tick boxes ha x
I can’t see anyone giving up a job like that sadly. They are few and far between. Best of luck with your search sweetie.
Ha ha if only. #KCACOLS
Oh goodness if you find a role that ticks all those boxes do let me know! #KCACOLS
Ha I will be surprised if I find one myself!
Lol i think you pretty much nailed it… I think mine would pretty much be the same with the addition of : Will need to be able to deal with endless meltdowns over next to nothing.xx #KCACOLS
Oh yes good point will add in meltdown management with or without added frown! x
Great post! My staff wanted advert would be similar to yours..I would also include ‘must be able to deal with at least 10tantruns from the toddler every day!’. I’m also looking for a job at the moment, I hate job hunting and it’s so hard finding something with the hours I need. Good luck with your job search!xx #KCACOLS
Ooh yes good thinking! Meltdown management is a must!
