I like biscuits and occasionally drag a comb through my hair. Sometimes I even find pieces of biscuit.

MmeLindor. · 20/03/2012 14:09

Oh, just noticed that Coffeemummy made the same suggestion. We could job share Smile

MmeLindor. · 20/03/2012 14:07

Can you open a Scottish office so that I can apply?

You can pay me in M&S vouchers.

VivaLeBeaver · 20/03/2012 14:05

I'll do it for 32k and I make amazing chocolate and pistachio biscotti.

DialsMavis · 20/03/2012 13:59

I will have a psychology degree in a few weeks and have dealt with some media enquiries in my my work for a therapy website. I also have really nice hair. How about we say I will do it for 27k because of my lack of experience and I will bring the Biscuits?

LadySybilDeChocolate · 20/03/2012 13:47

I have a law degree. It's rather useful sometimes.

I'm in Grin

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 20/03/2012 13:44

Ooh... Mn medical team! Yes. Doooo it

VivaLeBeaver · 20/03/2012 13:40

I'm all of it apart from experienced. However I'm good at writing and have done some free lance journalism for mainly The Daily Mail, The Mirror and The Sunday Telegraph. I also know one end of a stethoscope from the other and could talk medical stuff to impress Katie.

I could pack in midwifeing and commute!

In all seriousness, I really do think MN should have an office in North Wales. It could be used as a holiday destination as well! I have seen plenty of Welsh mumsnetters on the boards, we even have a Welsh language chat thread.

I am happy to relinquish the position of Press Officer in London for a n easier job in the new office - I am available for full time hours, including evenings and the odd weekend, and am not even nearly bilingual.

ohyouBadBadkitten · 20/03/2012 13:31

Just let me know when you need a weather lady.

LadySybilDeChocolate · 20/03/2012 13:31

I can write, haven't done anything like this for years though. Are there relocation expenses? I could travel if you don't mind me being a little late. Smile

Frontpaw · 20/03/2012 13:14

I also know lots of swear words and many many insults.

fabulous.

I can also spell. Honest. A* in English Literature and English Language GCSE, B in English Literature A Level

TwllBach · 20/03/2012 12:52

I really would be fantastic at it... honest. I am a qualified teacher working as a receptionist in North Wales- and i drag a comb through my hair every day in North Wales

Go ooooon MN, I would be a fabullous candidate if you opened an office in North Wales Grin

Honeydragon · 20/03/2012 12:52

I'd like to complain that you are being speciesist. It should be open to males and females otherwise you have ruled out dragons and zombies and Chickens with no lips or eyebrows, and puffins (narked or otherwise) not to mention a vast swathe of bears.

LadyWellian · 20/03/2012 12:51

KatieMN your timing is a bit off. I just started my new press officer job yesterday and unfortunately I think I really ought to try to make a go of it.

NorfolkNChance · 20/03/2012 12:48

Ok now you really have tempted me Katie but I'm not sure the commute is doable Sad

KatieMumsnet · 20/03/2012 12:44

Lots of press people making the move over to press office - so why not apply? Writing will be a key part of the role - so that bit is very relevant.

I am good at yelling at people. I can make grown men cry with one look.

PurplePidjin · 20/03/2012 12:17

I'm all those things apart from experienced Grin

Would you consider a trainee? I'm good in a crisis and my communication skills are awesome as are my wine bottle opening skills Wink

Frontpaw · 20/03/2012 12:12

Oh hang on, it said 'bright'...

I am good with media types (reader, I married him). No, I am not Nadine.

Stratters · 20/03/2012 12:09

I would be useless. :(

But I will donate my [hardhat]
