Writing endless cover letters and filling in a glut of application forms is one of the most boring aspects of job hunting, so just imagine how dull it is for the person who has to read through them all.
But Justin, who is opening a new American diner in Clarkston and is a self-proclaimed ‘obnoxious dickhead’, wants to make sure that he doesn’t have to go through more applications than he needs to with his advert for someone who is ‘fast, progressive, and not a total ****’.
As well as being able to make ‘semi-fancy food in a kitchen the size of a closet’, potential staff are warned they will have to work for ‘shit money’ and answer to the real boss – Justin’s wife.
‘What you cannot do is be a pain in my balls because my life savings is on the line and I have to work with my wife all day so I don't have time for any primadonna bullshit,’ says Justin in his Gumtree ad.
But it’s not all doom and gloom – ‘If you're awesome and you have actual cooking skills, you'll probably be my best friend and you'll work 55 hours a week and I'll let you put whatever horrible music you enjoy on the stereo and buy you beer,’ he says.
‘I'm only a dickhead for the first three years you know me. After that I'm a total sweetheart.’
