Worst job in Ireland? Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary is looking for a new assistant with 'saint-like patience'

RYANAIR CEO Michael O'Leary has advertised for a new assistant - and the prospective candidate must have a host of unusual attributes. 

While the advertisement is titled 'Worst job in Ireland?' the attributes of the potential assistant range from the standard to the bizarre.

The listing on Ryanair's Careers section reads, "a bright, ambitious qualified accountant is required to assist Ryanair’s misunderstood but beloved CEO and manage a wide range of issues."

The issues include routine tasks such as portfolio management, tax analysis and returns, project management and "general drudgery and molly coddling."

But the 'essential attributes' of the listing really spells out what the CEO really wants in a candidate.

"Thick skin, saint-like patience, aversion to b*lloxolgy, own collection of nursery rhymes/bedtime stories, ability to operate without sleep or contact with the outside world."

Lastly, "(ego) massage qualifications."

A note at the end of the listing says that not only will "Dubs fans, Man U supporters and cyclists" be automatically excluded from the application process, they "will be tracked down, tortured and shot."
