An anonymous influencer has been heavily criticised online after a job advert for a personal assistant surfaced, listing a series of unrealistic demands that many described as 'a nightmare'. The listing, posted on Entertainmentcareers.net, sought a candidate for a 'large celebrity' with over 10 million followers, but the expectations quickly drew backlash.
The advert stated that while the role was supposedly part-time with eight-hour days, the assistant would be on call 24/7 and required to handle 'hundreds of small tasks at once'. Duties included waking the influencer with coffee each morning, planning their calendar, cooking, cleaning, and being ready to travel anywhere at any time. Candidates also needed their own car and were expected to drive the influencer constantly, as well as packing and unpacking their belongings.
Perhaps most controversially, the advert emphasised the need to 'remove emotion' and 'be the bad guy', as well as remaining 'quiet at all times'. The successful applicant was told to expect minimal days off, with the role paying between $25 and $30 an hour.
The listing was shared on Twitter by journalist Taylor Lorenz, where it quickly went viral, racking up more than 11,000 likes. Social media users were quick to condemn the advert, with one commenting, 'I would rather die than do any of this for even one day,' while another questioned how the assistant could complete all tasks within eight hours.
Following the backlash, Lorenz later reported that the job listing had been amended, with many of the more extreme requirements removed from the description. The identity of the influencer remains unknown.
