Sound Like Your Kind of Job?

“Tiresome and boring wholesale company seeks indolent people with a total lack of service- mindedness for a job that is completely without challenge,” read the FH company’s advertisement in the Sandefjord, Norway, local newspaper. “If you’re still interested, sit down. Have a cup of coffee. Relax. If you can be bothered, call.”

The company, which has five employees, got about 130 calls. That was 130 more than the importer and distributor got with its original ad saying it wanted a hard-working and friendly salesman. “We tried a ‘regular’ ad for a while without any response,” company owner Fredrik Hartwig told Oslo’s Verdens Gang newspaper.

The report didn’t say who got the job.
