That's a bit blatant, why not just search them on facebook like everyone else?

€500 a month.
What job, even the most lowly assistant role pays that?
It must be a joke.

The advert does say 24hr/week, so it's not full time. Also states net pay if google has translated correctly.

It's still a crap wage, equivalent to 5 Euro per hour.

Plus benefits, one might assume.

I really must get out of the house more. Do many receptionists wear swimsuits these days?

 

[Mugshot]

Do we have a caller that maybe used to live in Italy that can give us the benefit of their wisdom on this?

Can't read that article but on a more serious note it is nothing new. If you hire a promo persons company, 9 it was not till long very normal for them to request the persons in question to be an size 8 you needed as an contractor, specifically make clear that you didn't want those kind of demands to have an more normal representation. It could still be the case i don't know i haven't been involved anymore since the pandemic.

"Normal representation"? Very good.

I'm knuckled up with tattoos, a missing tooth and scars all over my body. I reckon I'd made a fab receptionist, or tea person, or whatever.

I fit a size eight quite well too, although my shoulders have always been a bit big; I can accommodate.

I've got a bathing suit figure. It's just that it's ghastly.
