I am not currently looking for a job, and I won't fit this one either hehe! So I'd like to share with you all this advertisement that was part of yesterday's Breaking News section of INQUIRER.net.

Think "hard" before you submit your applications. Be sure that you are ready for the further training that will be provided once you are chosen.

Here are the "juicy" details that really made my day! Kudos to whoever conceptualized the idea. I hope they get the winners interviewed on TV, weee! And about my own title, sorry if it is slightly misleading. The job can actually be done wherever you are hehe!
