    Immediate Requirements: (all sound familiar)

    Immediate Requirements: (all sound familiar)

    Bulltulipter (3 month contract)

    Bulltulipter required. You will have at least three years experience
    of doing jobs for which you have no skill or aptitude, ideally in a
    Unix environment. Skills to include bulltulip, ideally to politician
    level, and waffle in a technical capacity. Arse-covering skills will
    be an advantage. CBE (Certified Bulltulip Engineer) qualification
    essential.

    Liar (6 month contract)

    You will be working for a prestigious, high-profile company. You
    must be able to claim a degree with first-class honours, preferably
    from Oxford or Cambridge, and own a car which (although impressive)
    does not actually exist. You will also be required to make up stories
    or explanations on the hop, so experience of police work will be
    considered favourably. Ties and/or certificates are provided to add
    convincing "colour" to the successful applicant's statements.

    Unix Guru (Rolling one month requirement)

    Candidates must have at least three of the following qualities:

    (1) stupid and unusual hairstyle with goatie beard
    (2) fashion taste which stopped somewhere in the mid-60's,
    (3) a lifestyle quite unlike anyone else, or
    (4) a habit of wearing sandals with or without socks.

    The ideal applicant will also have a Californian accent. Unix
    experience not essential, but some keyboard skills may be useful.

    Inexperienced timewaster wanted - urgent contract.

    Candidates (under 21 years of age) must be able to fill out at least six
    pages of a C.V. with claims of experience and knowledge totalling a
    minimum of 150 years. In addition, they must also be able to claim
    involvement with hobbies which nobody in their right mind could possibly
    fit into a lifestyle which included, for example, sleeping or eating. The
    successful applicant will have no real skills in any category whatsoever,
    but candidates will be considered providing they do not know anything
    about C++ programming or Project Management.

    Destruct testers required. (3 month contract, extendable to 6
    months)

    Clumsy, careless oafs of a naturally foolish nature must demonstrate
    their ineptitude with several, briefly-held, positions. The successful
    candidate will be asked to break something during the interview,
    preferably in a way which the interviewer will never have thought
    possible or remotely likely.

    Scapegoats. (One month contract with bonus on completion.)

    Conscientious and hardworking individual. Experienced in customer
    support and maintenance, you will have several demonstrable skills
    which can be used to show why the interviewers were right to employ
    you, coupled with a complete lack of awareness regarding arse-covering.
    You will work with a close-knit team of temporary contractors and will
    travel from project to project tasked with the job of tidying up the
    loose ends to ensure customer acceptance and satisfaction.

    Timewasters, timewasters, timewasters.

    be extended indefinitely.

    network specialist.
