Look, job hunting is difficult. Sometimes we can go over multiple listings and still not get hired for any one of them, and that can get frustrating. In other cases, these listings can also be irritating as they may not share the full story of what you’re planning to throw yourself into, or worse: it’s just really bad.
A job listing for a personal assistant online has been dubbed as the “worst art job ever.”
Originally posted as an anonymous listing to New York Foundation for the Arts, the employers were found to be looking for an “executive/personal assistant” to an “art world family.”
Now, that’s all good and well, but the demands were a bit… too much.
The listing states that the assistant must have the ability to juggle family travel bookings, schedule appointments, manage dogs, and as well as be a glorified babysitter to the employer’s child.
What’s funny is that it was seeking an applicant with a four-year degree in fine arts or administration. Art writer and curator Emily Colucci posted the “nightmarish” listing to the blog, Filthy Dreams, under the title, “I Found It: The Worst Art Job Listing Ever Created”.
