Fancy being the next PM?

April 22, 2010

As the election creeps ever nearer, thanks to disciple Stewart for pointing out this great spoof job ad for The Prime Minister of Great Britain, courtesy of the folk at jobsgopublic.

Guru particularly likes the 'essential skills and qualities' required for role:
  • Good contacts in the world of business, trade unions and environmental pressure groups
  • Easy to impersonate
  • Thick skinned enough to ignore personal attacks
  • Attend weekly televised meetings at which all policy decisions will be publicly reviewed/ridiculed
  • The ability to build, re-build and re-build again the team of support staff and ministers
Although Guru prides himself on having many of these skills, Yours Truly will certainly not be applying for the role, although he is sure the Guru Party would secure enough votes.

About Guru

Guru is Personnel Today's notorious HR commentator. He's been working in HR for far too long and observes every passing management fad with a mixture of anger and amusement. His blog is the one thing saving his long-suffering wife, Mrs Guru, from having to endure too much of his ranting about the big HR stories of the day.
