Sorry if there's already a thread - apparently this nightmarish-sounding company offering a hellish-sounding job don't want the likes of FWR posters to apply. Also they don't seem to understand discrimination law.

People with depresision and anxiety might present as glass half empty, so someone with that personality/illness may be put off applying as well

Mind you can you imagine the toxicity working somewhere like that, it would make you have a breakdown probably

I was about to predict 'life coach' on this CV in the near future, but I see we're already there....

EpicChaos · 18/03/2023 19:02

" Life coach "?
Did she do her training at the same place as our dear friend Jeffrey, by any chance? :-/

They seem to want a lot from the applicant, especially since they expect weekend work too.

This is a contractor role, working approximately 30 hours per month

"Contractor role". So, on top of everything else, they want to ensure that the glass half full lifestyle assistant has no job security or benefits. Yet this role's not for you if you "Want to be an entrepreneur and run your own business."

Here's a clue, Maisie: if you're a self-employed contractor then you're already running your own business.

Guess her knowledge of employment law is no more robust than her knowledge of biology.

20k for approximately 24 weeks??

That’s £833 per week 😳 Deluded.

I’m not impressed by someone who claims to be some kind of expert but who uses vague and immature language such as “get your shit together” and “it’s so f* hard”.

raspberrywine · 18/03/2023 19:27

Who's Beks then? How does Beks fit into the business?

What a load sanctimonious drivel. She sounds like the kind of person that would not, could not take pushback or criticism. As soon as you said "no" you'd lose your contract.

nepeta · 18/03/2023 19:39

On top of everything that has been discussed here I noted how you can all be for EDI (which I always confuse with IED...) and yet be so extremely classist to put up an enormous demands list in exchange of a tiny payment and the expectation that the person is a contractor and available for messages 24/7.

We should get back some of the old-time class politics, too, or at least admit that this new stuff still privileges the wealthier people.

Spudlover · 18/03/2023 19:40

I can’t fathom thinking this kind of advert is OK. Surely even the most inexperienced team member can see its discriminatory.

This kind of publicity may come back to bite her. Her target audience is women but this shows precisely what she thinks of us.

On a side note. I know a life coach. She has cheated in every relationship she’s ever had, has a series of dead end jobs she keeps being let go from, and is generally a total flake. I’m sure there are good ones out there but any old crackpot can market themselves as one.

Annaissleeping · 18/03/2023 19:41

This has made my day! It's that ridiculous.

There is a push in some life coaching circles to drastically up your prices to these levels, according to the Youtube ads that I see sometimes. I think the idea is to have 2-10 clients and rake it in and then move onto selling an online course on how to make a fortune as a life coach. That course then brings in an additional few hundred thousand per year and you can work remotely from a nice beach. You can maybe get away with it if you have a huge amount of skill and natural charisma and a really large following on Twitter or TikTok but this woman is just making me laugh.

(I'm not a life coach btw, just vaguely interested in the scams in that industry having had a vulnerable relative who've trained as one)

DameMaud · 18/03/2023 19:46

I think I might become a life coach who specialises in coaching people in how to avoid being suckered in by exploitative life coaches.
Think there's a market for it.

GenAndWine · 18/03/2023 19:47

I wonder how many VA’s have dumped them for other (less batshit) clients.

dropthevipers · 18/03/2023 19:48

reading that job spec.-who the hell is going to apply for that shit show?

LemonadeSunshine · 18/03/2023 19:57

Maisie has no relevant qualifications at all, no medical expertise, maybe doesn't actually know what a woman is?

Theeyeballsinthesky · 18/03/2023 19:57

Managing Maisie’s calendar, ensuring it’s kept spacious.

I couldn't get past this. What a self absorbed, lazy, arse 😂😂😂

I’d hope that the successful candidate actively misreads that as “specious” 🤣

Slothtoes · 18/03/2023 20:00

Wow, what a horrible place to work. With worryingly shitty ethics and politics and then legally amateurish as well..

^ There’s an instagram post where she linked to the job the other day, but it’s been edited earlier today; so I guess that was to update the link. Various comments underneath saying things like “this sounds amazing, the universe is delivering!”

You have to feel a bit sorry for anyone who honestly thinks the job, as described, sounds amazing.

OnTheThames · 18/03/2023 20:12

A spacious diary and big fees.

Maybe Maisie is someone who identifies as as an entrepreneur?

LemonJuiceFromConcentrate · 18/03/2023 20:15

“This is definitely a position that requires the ability to respond”

This is definitely a position that requires the ability to respond and Everyone in the team is on different time zones

So … we’ll pay you for 30 hrs per month but you’re basically on call 24/7?

How unjust! She has a Diploma in Tibetan Tummy Rubs!

BluebellBlueballs · 18/03/2023 20:41

Tempted to apply just so I can hit them with a discrimination claim when I'm not appointed due to being terfy.

nilsmousehammer · 18/03/2023 20:43

I'm sure there are excellent life coaches, but I've known several head in that direction in the belief that charging a lot while talking bollocks very positively is a way to make a living.

Myaiminlife · 18/03/2023 20:46

QuintanaRoo · 18/03/2023 18:24

We are a close team and we bring our whole selves to work. 🤣

As I'm down both tonsils and adenoids and I cut my toenails last night and have binned the clippings I guess I can't even apply (oh that and the fact that I am a wee bit terfy).

TheWayOfTheWorld · 18/03/2023 20:50

3 threats of compulsory strike off in 3 years! (As can't get shit together and file accounts when they're due, by the looks of it Hmm)
