A Norfolk council showed a sense of humour and a canny eye for marketing as a tongue-in-cheek job advert got people laughing.
North Norfolk District Council got creative when listing a new graphic designer role on its team, mocking up a screenshot using the much-loved graphics editor Microsoft Paint.
Social media users reacted with amusement to the advert, with one commenting: "No need to advertise, this is TALENT," and another saying "this ad is golden!"
It is, isn't it?

Of course they will suffer from a surfeit of applicants.But I am sure that some of the replies will be gems as well.
Or cue bemused Jobsworths.

ReplyDeleteLet's hope that they publish the best.
'Applicants must have webbed fingers, genetic deformities from inbreeding and/or be married to a sibling, or we won't believe that they are Norfolk residents'

And sadly, that's rare these days.
