WANTED: Consumers
Work Type: Full Time
Sub-Classification: Public Relations
Advertiser: Department of Treasury and Finance
Salary: $80,000 - $100,000 + super + bonus
*These are vital roles that need to be filled immediately and are necessary to help Australia recover from the global financial crisis!
You may have noticed that the Australian Government is in the process of releasing stimulus plans as part of our Recession Recovery Plan (RRP). In accordance with this policy, we are currently looking for Consumers to join our recovery team and take part in a range of consumption-based activities. You will report directly to the Treasurer and undertake consumer stimulus activity across the nation.
As an Australian Consumer you will abstain from any kind of productive work; our economists have advised us that there are already enough people working and producing. Your role involves only consumption to further trade and economic development in Australia.
The successful candidate will have tertiary qualifications from a government funded institution, preferably in Arts. Any prior experience in relation to consuming the productive work of others will be looked upon favourably.
You will also need excellent communication skills, strong attention to detail, great follow-up skills and the ability to think outside the square. Your nation is counting on you!
To apply for this position, please email your resume and a covering letter to Wayne Swan, Treasurer, wayne.swan@dtf.gov.au.
Please note: this is NOT an actual job advertisement. It's merely mocking the stupidity behind "stimulus" packages that focus on boosting consumption (it was inspired by the poem in the previous post).
