"Worst job advert in the world ever" causes outrage

A job advert seeking “a charismatic literary assistant” has been labelled as ‘“the worst job advert in the world ever,” on Twitter.

The listing, which appeared on Guardian Jobs, was posted by Eros de Grey and was subtitled: "Miss Moneypenny cum Bree Van de Kamp cum Archetypal Muse cum Lara Croft.”

The advert stated it was offering £35, 000 in return for joining Grey “in Taormina (Sicily) for the international adventure of researching and writing the greatest love story ever told.”

It continued: “As well as my literary assistant, you will need to triple as a sedulous personal assistant and glamorous hostess managing the social events calendar for a busy Sicilian villa,” The Independent reported.
