New York City unveiled its latest eyebrow-raising effort to rid the city of the thousands of pesky rodents that plague its streets, metro stops and buildings.
“Do you have what it takes to do the impossible? A virulent vehemence for vermin? A background in urban planning, project management, or government? And most importantly, the drive, determination and killer instinct needed to fight the real enemy – New York City’s relentless rat population?” asks the job description, which the city posted Wednesday.
The position’s qualifications range from the mundane (a bachelor’s degree or experience in urban planning) to the outlandish (a “swashbuckling attitude, crafty humor, and a general aura of badassery”).
The position could pay anywhere from $120,000 to $170,000 a year and requires three references.
