The chance to work with a really wonderful group of shark biologists and lovers!
Wow, the Shark Angels just posted a similar opening, what were the odds?
Vacancy:
Vacuous Twit with Instructor rating needed for our Shark Conservation and Research Project based in some dingy public park, or on Facebook, or somewhere where someone (not us) is hosting a shark event and we magically appear.
Your Role:
1. To carry out shark research in line with our Conservation Management Plan. The plan is always changing. In fact there really isn't a plan, just sort of an idea.
2. Help develop and grow future non-scientific projects on a local and global scale. That is to say help us ask for even more money from the public, you know, to keep our name out there.
3. Train research volunteers to wear moldy black duck wings, because that is what we do, FOR THE SAHRKS!!!.
4. Assist with the dissemination of watered down shark propaganda fed to us by Sea Shepherd. Usually online but occasionally the main stream media picks us up and we all celebrate.
Requirements:
1. You need to have a lower IQ than us.
2. Fluent in English, or street English, or can rap.
3. Must be able to look good on our team wearing black duck wings.
We offer:
Not much really. A few left over vegan rice cakes, the chance to carry Julie Anderson's lip gloss (a high honor) and you may appear in the background of a TV series we have been trying to sucker a network into buying for almost 5 years.
Please only apply if you have the relevant experience.
Only success applicants will be contacted.

THAT is funny - thanks! :)
I applied! I have everything minus the PADI OWSI. SO heart breaking! Lucky guy or gal that gets the job!
