<em>Image: <a href="http://kingdomofstyle.typepad.co.uk/my_weblog/images/2007/09/08/w370_rocket_148.jpg">Kingdom of Style</a></em></p>
<p><strong>This week&#8217;s jobs include a position for a hippy, a meat cutter, and an amateur astronaut. </strong>If none of those suit your fancy, you can be the person who provides a ladder for someone stuck in a well. No kidding:</p>
<p><strong>1. Denver: Hippies with the Flow!!</strong></p>
<p><em>Our hip art company is looking for career oriented men and women who enjoy music, money and casual dress. No experience necessary. Paid training. Travel possible.</p>
<p>Will train to management level.<br />
Car required</p>
<p>* Compensation: $450/wk up to $45k/yr </em></p>
<p>This all sounds fine and good, but what exactly are you, the hippy, <em>doing</em> for $450/week?</p>
<p><strong>2. Las Vegas: COURTESY PATROL OFFICER </strong></p>
<p><em>Seeking Courtesy Patrol Officers, responsible for maintaining the safety and integrity of the property.</p>
<p>Duties required by this position are as follows:</p>
<p>•Patrol the perimeter and exterior of the property<br />
•Observe and Report incidents and safety issues on property<br />

•Write trespass warnings</p>
<p>Skills/ Requirements<br />

<p>Must know beef and lamb extremely well. Knowledge of pork and chicken also helpful.<br />
</em></p>
<p>If you know dog, cat, or coon, please don&#8217;t mention it during your interview. </p>
<p><strong>4. Alberta: Astronaut Needed</strong></p>
<p><em>Astronaut needed for experimental flight to Titan. I have been working on this project now for near 40 years and am afraid I&#8217;m no longer fit enough to go.</p>
<p>My secret space craft is the result of my professional experience and imagination while serving the U.S. military in advanced aeronautics as a scientist.</p>
<p>The craft harnesses a revolutionary propulsion system and its fuselage is fabricated with the most advanced material. While considerably safe,</p>
<p>I am certain you will make it safely to Titan but there will not be enough fuel to get home. This is for someone unique that has always wanted to see the universe first-hand and has perhaps a terminal view on life here at home. Here&#8217;s your shot at romantic history.</p>
<p>Must be:</p>
<p>-physically fit.<br />
-mentally sound.<br />
-over the age of 18.<br />
-a dreamer.<br />
-a believer.<br />
-not afraid of heights.<br />
-not afraid of extreme conditions such as speed, pressure, heat, etc.<br />
-brave.<br />
-no taller than 5&#8242;10 and relatively slim.<br />
-good eye-sight &#038; hearing.<br />
-manual dexterity (although the craft is largely cpu controlled).<br />
-OK in cramped conditions for long periods of time.</p>
<p>    * Compensation: $25,000 CASH.<br />
</em></p>
<p>That&#8217;s $25,000 for your life. Blow it fast, before you die on Titan. </p>
<p><strong>5. Philadelphia: IN A WELL, NEED LADDER</strong></p>
<p><em>I&#8217;m offering a reward for the first person who shows up with at least a 25 foot ladder to the well off of rt. 322 and Sugarsbridge Rd. My friends won&#8217;t come because they think i&#8217;m joking. I&#8217;m definitely NOT&#8230; I have water but have not eaten in two days.</p>
<p>Reward is negotiable depending on how quickly you get here. And FYI to the kid that threw rocks down the well at me yesterday evening, I&#8217;m going to find you and do terrible thing to you.</em></p>
<p>Hoax? Perhaps, but funny.</p>
<p>Happy Friday!</p>

<strong><br />
Our current sad economic state has been dubbed a number of things. </strong>The Great Recession. The he-cession. The credit crunch. One thing, however, it clear. It&#8217;s not the Porncession. Because that industry is doing just fine, thank you very much:</p>
<p><strong>1. LA: Driver for the BUS (Driver for the BUS)<br />
</strong><br />
<em>Adult Day Care needs a Driver BP class.<br />
Monday to Friday. Pay &#8211; $ 45.00 </p>
<p>•	Location: Driver for the BUS<br />

<strong><br />
2. LA: Dream job for the right person&#8230; could it be you?</strong></p>
<p><em>Dream job for the right person&#8230; could it be you?</p>
<p>Description: Well established adult oriented website company looking for someone with a knack for choosing the best adult material. With the training we provide, you&#8217;ll be selecting pictures and videos for our sites on a daily basis. So yes, basically you get paid to look at porn, but there&#8217;s a lot more to it than you might think. You have to know EXACTLY what to look for. It takes a highly-trained and keen eye to select the proper images for our websites. The difference between picking the right and wrong pictures even one time can mean thousands in additional sales revenues for the company.</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Highly-trained,&#8221; in this context, means you have watched a <em>lot</em> of porn.<br />
<strong><br />

</em><br />
Note to weekend handymen: Just be really, really good at pretending you&#8217;re an expert. And don&#8217;t being an instruction manual like the last guy did. </p>
<p><strong>5. Canada: Love piercings and tattoos??? </strong></p>

<p>You love to work, you don&#8217;t get any breaks, you have to stand around in a mall, and you have weird/cool hobbies. Why don&#8217;t they just directly ask for teenagers in desperate need of money?</p>

<em>Image: <a href="http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/">Confluence</a></em></p>
<p><strong>Sometimes, people pay you to be who you are.</strong> These jobs can be the best kinds of gigs&#8230;if they pay more than a pittance. This week&#8217;s jobs demonstrate that you can make money being a hateful Alaskan resident, someone who needs their wisdom teeth pulled, or a Russian with access to an executive office:</p>
<p><strong>1. Alaska: &#8216;To the Point&#8217; Writers</strong></p>
<p><em>Looking for aggressive writers with a no non-sense vision regarding Alaska politics, saracastic personal experiences, regarding just about anything (keep it clean), and off the cuff thoughts about things that aggravate you re: Alaska. Think Seinfeld. Multiple subjects that irk you. No holding back. I prefer ideas from people that are transients that have moved here and feel somewhat out of place with how slow things move and how different it feels.<br />
</em><br />
People who like Alaska will not be considered. </p>
<p><strong>2. Austin: COUNTER HELP HAM WRAPPERS </strong></p>
<p><em>Large Retail store needing seasonal help. Counter help and Ham Wrappers/cutters. All applicants must be clean cut and have experience working and greeting the public. Apply in person.<br />
</em><br />
Can you imagine meeting strangers after taking this job? &#8220;So what do you do?&#8221; &#8220;I wrap hams.&#8221;<br />
<strong><br />
3. Austin: Need Your Wisdom Teeth Removed? </strong></p>
<p><em>Research co. is looking for men and women to participate in a medical research study of an investigational pain medication following wisdom teeth removal. If you qualify and participate, one of our board-certified oral surgeons will remove your wisdom teeth at no cost, and you may receive up to $350 financial compensation. Participants must be willing to stay overnight in the clinic. Call us or visit our website for more information.<br />
</em><br />
Better hope that pain medication works.<br />
<strong><br />
4. Raleigh: Sales for the Hunter not farmer </strong></p>
<p><em>Established Software company is looking for the right person to cover the Raleigh and East area of Nc. Are you a Hunter&#8230; Full Commission dosent bother you since you will succeed in any market. Not a wanabe.. if you have verifiable Sales Credientials send me an email. We do a lot of training, you must be of the mindset to learn. If you want to do it your way, go start your own business.</p>
<p>Our sucess is only acheived when you are successful.</p>
<p>Compensation: Full Commission. 16% to 25% of the sale </em></p>
<p>Now, what was wrong with farmers again?</p>
<p><strong>5. LA: Need RUSSIANS for short film </strong></p>
<p><em>Need 2 Russian Actors for Short film. SOME PAY INVOLVED. Someone that has access to an EXECUTIVE-Looking office gets SPECIAL CONSIDERATION. Please speak english and FLUENT RUSSIAN. THANK YOU!!</p>

<p>If you happen to be a Russian person with access to an executive office, there&#8217;s an instant $25&#8230;for dealing with people who want to film you. Is that really worth it?</p>
<p>Happy Friday!</p>

<p><strong>This week&#8217;s weird jobs hold a lot of potential to be evil.</strong> You can &#8220;poke fun&#8221; at the Fed&#8211;or verbally slaughter it. You can pretend to be an FBI agent. Or drive around taking blood vials for people&#8211;and get paid based on how many you collect. At the end of the day, however, you can make up for your bad deeds by working for good karma:</p>
<p><strong>1.	Los Angeles: Poke-fun at the government and the Federal Reserve&#8211;full time $50-100K </strong></p>
<p><em>A talented and prolific writer/editor is needed to help us poke-fun at the economy, the government, and the Federal Reserve. Your writing style should be confident and conversational with a touch of dry wit and sarcasm. The subject matter is global economics, monetary history, and precious metals. </p>
<p>This is a fun, fun, fun job. </em></p>
<p>Remember: The Fed is funny. <em>Funny</em>. We’ll call you out when your humor gets mean. Which it probably will. </p>
<p><strong>2. Los Angeles: Actors to play FBI Agents </strong></p>
<p><em>Amazing low budget movie need Actors to play FBI Agents. we need guys and girls to play FBI agents pay is $50 at the end of the shoot (about 5 hours). Please bring a suit and call if you are would like to be apart of this movie. </em></p>
<p>We would like to discourage you from bringing real weapons to the set. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.businesspundit.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/zzzzcccc.png" alt="canncareer" title="canncareer" width="199" height="83" class="alignright size-full wp-image-14290" /></p>
<p><strong>Next time someone asks you what you do</strong>, you can say &#8220;I&#8217;m a nemesis,&#8221; or &#8220;I&#8217;m a budtender.&#8221; At least, that would be the case if you picked up one of the jobs below:</p>
<p><strong>1.	Adult Fantasy Phone Artist (work from home)</strong></p>
<p><em>Adult Fantasy Phone Artists needed for established phone service. Knowledge of fetishes a plus. Must have phone to make long distance calls from Land line with unlimited long distance to US &#038; Canada. Accents or foreign language a + ie: British, Latin, Asian, French, Indian Experience a +. Compensation: $10 for 20 min $5 for 10 min </em></p>
<p>Latin accent, eh? Must be a lot of historians calling in. </p>
<p><strong>2.	San Francisco: Nemesis required. 6-month project with possibility to extend</strong></p>
<p><em>I&#8217;ve been trying to think of ways to spice up my life. I&#8217;m 35 years old, happily married with two kids and I have a good job in insurance. But somethings missing. I feel like I&#8217;m old before my time. I need to inject some excitement into my daily routine through my arm before its too late. I need a challenge, something to get the adrenaline pumping again. </p>
<p>An addiction would be nice, but, in short, I need a nemesis. I&#8217;m willing to pay $350 up front for you services as an arch enemy over the next six months. Nothing crazy. Steal my parking space, knock my coffee over, trip me when Im running to catch the BART and occasionaly whisper in my ear, &#8220;Ahha, we meet again&#8221;. That kind of thing. Just keep me on my toes. </p>
<p>Complacency will be the death of me. You need to have an evil streak and be blessed with innate guile and cunning. You should also be adept at inconsicuous pursuit. Evil laugh preferred. Send me a photo and a brief explanation why you would be a good nemesis. </p>
<p>British accent preferred.<br />
•	Compensation: $350 up front </em></p>
<p>You can tell this guy works in insurance. Someone else might, say, punch or slander someone to acquire a real-life nemesis. The job poster, on the other hand, wants all the benefits of a nemesis&#8211;without the risk.</p>
<p><strong>3. Texas: Successful Independent Women/Man Reality Show </strong></p>
<p><em>Are you a successful woman/man? Do you have your own successful business? Are you the best in your field? Are you a doctor, attorney realtor, making at-least 6 figures??? &#8230; Do you have an elite group of friends? Do you find it hard to find the right man/woman because of your success? We are interesting in interviewing successful women; single, engaged or recently divorced&#8230;. If selected &#8211; participants will receive some compensation &#038; Possible Reality show placement. </em></p>
<p>We will try to hook you up with handsome studs looking for sugar mommas.<br />
<strong></p>
<p>4. Los Angeles: Medical Marijuana Budtender </strong></p>
<p><em>We are looking for an attractive female bud tender for our unique medical marijuana pharmacy. Must be self motivated, responsible and reliable. Sales experience is a plus but not a must. Must be able to obtain doctor recommendation. Please provide your current photo(s), a short letter, and resume. </em></p>
<p>So people will buy more pot when there’s a hot girl behind the counter? Sounds half-baked, but oddly plausible. </p>
<p><strong>5. Louisiana: The Winning Edge</strong></p>
<p><em>Well-established company in need of an independent Data Entry Clerk. Must have following: Computer &#8211; high speed connection, telephone, fax machine. Computer needs Micro-soft Office Apps.</p>
<p>We would like someone who is good with time management, sincere, and well rounded.</em></p>
<p>Micro-soft = Microsoft, spelled with a Southern accent. </p>
<p>Happy Friday!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.businesspundit.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/zzmotivation.jpg" alt="motivation" title="motivation" width="545" height="436" class="alignright size-full wp-image-14287" /></p>
<p><strong>One of the best aspects of having money is that you can outsource.</strong> Being rich can make housecleaning, gardening, and washing your own car things of the past. You can even outsource painful mental tasks. Like motivating yourself:</p>
<p><strong>1.	Los Angeles: Personal Motivator<br />
</strong><br />
<em>Personal Motivator will insure that I get up and out to whatever scheduled activity we have planned during the week. Motivator must be an early riser and motivational.</p>
<p>I will start each day at 5:00 and be ready to exercise and onsite by 5:30 or 6:00 a.m. (depending on the activity – i.e. pool hours are 6:00 a.m. on) so I need early risers for this. </p>
<p>You will meet on either Saturdays or Sundays to discuss my training schedule and coordinate efforts. </em></p>
<p>I am intrinsically unmotivated, and unmotivated to become motivated, but can afford to outsource this neural function, so please take it over. </p>
<p><strong>2.	Louisiana: Odd job, build half a fence </strong></p>
<p><em>I need someone to build the second half of my fence. It is partially fenced with 6 ft chain link. 2 sides of the yard need fencing, about 20 ft or less each side. </em></p>
<p>I murdered our first fencer before he could finish. I’ll try not to do that with you, too<br />
<strong>3.	Louisiana: Club Security </strong></p>
<p><em>Must be able to Control ANY situation<br />
Must be battle ready<br />
Must be professional<br />
Must be Tempermental<br />
Must be able to follow all rules and regulations<br />
This is not A job for weak individuals </em></p>
<p>Don’t “temperamental” and “able to control any situation” contradict each other? These guys are looking for one heckuva bouncer. </p>
<p><strong>4. Los Angeles: $75,000+. GO-GREEN AD-PLANTERS For Hotel Rooms! </strong><br />
<em><br />
For more than a decade we&#8217;ve been supplying leading Hotel Chains with live plants based upon our patented technology of growing them in artificial soil. </p>
<p>The “Concierge Planter” is actually a Plexiglas “Picture Frame” Planter On a Spinning Base that contains Ads from local merchants&#8230;.And it sits right on the Desk, next to the phone in EVERY Hotel Guest Room! The “Concierge Planter,” is the ABSOLUTE FOCAL POINT of the Hotel Room&#8230;Everyone Looks at It&#8230;It COMMANDS ATTENTION&#8230;.. and Guests Become Fascinated with it since it&#8217;s Totally Interactive! </p>
<p>Everyone Agrees&#8230;.The “Concierge Planter” is The Most Powerful &#038; Effective Method to Reach The Lucrative Traveler &#038; Tourist Market&#8230;Nothing Compares to It! </p>
<p>Ask Yourself This Question: If you owned a a business located just a short distance from a hotel&#8230;wouldn&#8217;t it make sense to advertise your business in EVERY Guest Room of that Hotel? </p>
<p>$75,000+ First Year is the Average. A Rich Commission Schedule&#8230;Exclusive Sales Territories&#8230;Immediate Management Opportunities. A True Career Opportunity with a Responsible Decade Old Company!<br />
</em><br />
So the Concierge Planter commands total attention, is totally interactive, and is the absolute focal point of a hotel room. I guess it never finds its way into hotel rooms with cable TV. </p>
<p><strong>5.	Arizona: Rock Chip Repair Technician Needed Door 2 Door</strong></p>
<p><em>Hiring 7 door to door rock chip repair sales technicians. We will include any training and processing. You must be able to speak English well and go door to door in residential places. Insurance companies pay to have the windshield repaired. </p>
<p>-Training takes about 1-2 days. It&#8217;s not that hard to learn. </p>
<p>-You must have a background check done in order to work. </p>
<p>Compensation: $15-$19 Per hour. </em></p>
<p>Please do not chisel chips into anyone’s windshield before you ring their doorbell. </p>
<p>Happy Friday!</p>

<p><strong>This week&#8217;s jobs are the kinds of gigs you take when you&#8217;re out of other options.</strong> Vodka salesperson. Mascot. Strong person who loads mystery objects into a truck. And if you can&#8217;t do any of that, why not try to turn your kid into a famous actor? <em>Only one job on this entire list requires specialized skills&#8230;can you guess which one it is?</em></p>
<p><strong>1. Denver: Child Actors Sought for Short Film </strong></p>

<p><em>Need sales people to work for 10-15% commission. Breaks down to $12-18 per 6 bottle case sold, upward sliding scale. Obviously bigger accounts mean bigger orders &#038; more commission, but small, high volume accounts can be good too if handled properly.</p>

</em><br />
Our last employee thought the vodka, not the profits, went to veterans. Please don&#8217;t make the same mistake.</p>
<p><strong>3. Idaho: MASCOT WANTED </strong></p>

<p>    * Compensation: $8 PER HR </em></p>
<p>We&#8217;re not telling you what kind of mascot you&#8217;ll be, because it&#8217;s kind of embarrassing. Just apply and wear the hot pink beaver suit, OK?<br />
<strong><br />
4. Maine: DONUT BAKER </strong></p>
<p><em>Looking for a donut baker with at least 3 years experiance in Handcut Donuts. Please apply at Brooklyn&#8217;s Bakery, located at 65 main st in Biddeford, Maine. Only apply during the hours of 2 pm and 5 pm monday thru friday. Ask for Debbie.</p>

<p>Baking eclairs or bear claws will result in your termination. </p>
<p><strong>5. East Texas: Looking for three strong arms </strong></p>
<p><em>looking for three strong young men to come help us load a couple of heavy items into the back of a pickup. These items weigh well over 600 pounds each. We&#8217;ll only need help for about 15 minutes. There&#8217;ll be two of us, so 5 should be able to get it done no problem.</p>
<p>Holler back if interested.</p>
<p> * Compensation: 15 dollars each<br />
</em><br />
Those &#8220;heavy items&#8221; are actually sedated cougars, but we&#8217;re not gonna tell you that in the ad.  </p>
