Job Searching

I HATE job searching.... with a passion..... it makes me depressed. Of course, being off my meds probably doesn't help, but still... some of these adds are quite INSANE in what they are asking in an employee.

Take for instance the Upper East Side family who "wants a College GRADUATE who is CPR certified, computer "savvy", who is willing to be able to assist with family "assistant" duties AND care for the family pets" ...... REALLY people?!?!?!? I thought slavery was abolished during the last century!!

Then there is the SoHo family who are "Seeking a kind, loving and responsible nanny to care for a baby, 3 year old and 5 year old (rarely all at once!) BOTH parents work so you are the sole care giver. $15 per hour AFTER taxes. Applicants must have the x-factor that makes you "get" kids. Experience and references a must and ability to commit to the job."

Then of course there is the New Jersey family who wants: Exceptional Every Other Weekend Nanny Needed (Allendale, NJ)

GRRRRRRRRRRR I just HAAATE this......

edit: ...and as I keep searching it just gets more and more ridiculous...

"Full time position with a family with two young children. Candidates must have a college degree (earned in the U.S.), and have three or more years of nanny experience working full-time with preschoolers/toddlers/infants.
