The other day a somewhat unusual job ad was placed at a village post office in UK: Found: drinking companions to join elderly gentleman for a friendly beer at his local pub.The guy who placed the ad got absolutely bombarded with offers for someone to accompany his 88-year-old father Jack on visits to a southern England pub from a nursing home.
He offered the lucky winner £7 an hour plus expenses and, after sifting through the applicants, decided on a job-share arrangement. Drinking duties are to be divided between a retired doctor and a former military man. "Dad's now going to be going down to the pub several times a week- three with his new friends and twice with me" the guy said.
As some of you know I will shortly embark on a journey into the recruitment industry and I figure I’d be a damn fine recruiter for finding quality drinking buddies for people. Like they say- “it takes one to know one”. Love the job-sharing idea too.
Now taking job orders...
