Despite the global downturn and recession fears, some employers are still hiring. Latest example: The United States government, which is looking to fill a vacancy.
The job in question is very high profile, but despite the management responsibility, does not come with a guaranteed bonus. It is a temporary position which is limited to a four-year period, and potential candidates must be available by the 20th of January 2009.
To compensate for the lack of adequate compensation, the role comes with a substantial benefits package including corporate housing, personal security, free transportation, and a country retreat. Healthcare for the successful candidate and 300 million other countrymen still needs to be sorted out.
In terms of qualifications, there are no strong requirements. In fact, an Ivy League background could be considered elitist and might be more of an impediment than a plus. Certificates from community colleges or proof of home schooling are considered sufficient. The current holder of the role, despite already being on an contract extension, has shown by example that rhetorical and literary skills are secondary.
This is an exciting opportunity in a fast-paced environment. It is a client-facing role, but it should be noted that some clients might be hostile, and the candidate must be able to cope with this. Decision-making skills are essential but can be compensated for by simply knowing the right people.
Apply now, because tomorrow it might be too late.
