Careers... Get a Real Job!

Seriously? You want to work with us? That's outstanding, but we'd like to be honest from the beginning... the demand for a position with the Foundation of the Purple Spotted Hairless Platypus is ridiculous.

We want to be clear (so that there are no misconceptions) that you will be competing with candidates from across the world from the best universities. It's like Donald Trump's "Apprentice" except you once you win you don't get paid, sleep in tents, and eat roadkill (usually killed same day if that's any consequence).

If you are still interested in competing with the best of the best, please send your resume including specialties (i.e. trapper, plaster molder, spear shooter, photographer, massage therapists, etc.) and experience listing all non-indigenous species captured, killed and/or photographed. Pay history is irrelevant.

Ideally, we are looking for fit, so if you can carry heavy loads, survive with minimal sleep, run fast and close the deal with a pedicure, you should consider a career with the Foundation of the Purple Spotted Hairless Platypus.

I would just like to say that I have a Masters in Art History and also have a MLIS... both from NYC. Which means, basically, that I drink too much and am very flexible. I will require sixteen packs of ramen per week (chili beef), two boxes of red wine (5 liters each) and I require bourbon at seven o'clock every night (amount variable). I have my own tent. So do you, in fact, and you should probably keep that between us. Well, there is good too. I have never had a pedicure but am willing to learn and am very good at screaming and very bad at running. I am also currently interested in working in horror films or with the elderly.
