Same here. Many brands and companies could learn from Charlie’s example, instead of listing abstract words and puffery that usually don’t amount to anything at all. E.g. A brand might say it values “quality” or “integrity”. I mean, who doesn’t?
My favourite part of this is the ‘your references’ bit. So many ads of important stuff only focus on what ‘the buyer’ gets – which will never be the right person if you forget about what the applicant needs too.
Thanks, Claire. It's so true. I'm thinking about this now with publishing a book and finding a publisher who is actually a good fit, instead of trying to impress them and hoping they'll pick me.
A psychological profile of a family in the form of a want ad. You’ve invented a new form of memoir.
Love this Drake. Precisely.
Haha I'll take it!
My favorite section is your family values. "We return the grocery carts" says a LOT.

Thank you, Becky and Simon!
Ah! If we lived near you and I needed a job, I’d absolutely inquire!
*tried, and failed, to think of how to phrase this without sounding like an online stalker 😂*
I love this take on a want ad. The transparency is amazing, and necessary! Why can’t all want ads be like this?
Oh yeah. Because openness and vulnerability are often preyed upon 😠
Thank you for this!
Hahaha. That's hilarious, Bradley. I was sort of hoping someone would read this who would actually want the job!

Bravo, Charlie.
thanks for your help on this one!
