YouTuber’s job ad for personal assistant who never shows emotion goes viral

The “part-time” job which requires the new assistant to be on call 24/7 and wake the star every morning with coffee has been savaged on Twitter.

A popular YouTuber with over 10 million followers is looking for a personal assistant to help behind the scenes – but the job advert has since gone viral for its ridiculous list of demands.

The LA-based influencer – who is currently unknown – insists that the successful candidate not only help out with social media-related work but must be able to cook, clean, be available around the clock and never show emotion.

The advert was originally posted on EntertainmentCareers.net and promises $US25 to $US30 ($A35 to $A42) an hour for the “part-time” job which requires the new assistant to be on-site eight hours a day and on-call 24/7 – sounds more like full-time work to us.

If, and when, the successful candidate shows they are “properly qualified”, only then will the role bump up to full-time, but they must show they’re not “driven by fame” and must “remain quiet at all times”.

If you thought it couldn’t get any worse, it does, as the “well known celebrity/influencer with 10+ million followers” also demands that the assistant live no more than 60 minutes away, have a car and be “able to drive client anywhere at any time,” “take ownership on each project,” and have “minimal days off” – yikes.

Part of the listing reads: “You must keep all emotion/private life matters completely away from this world. You will deal with lots of incredibly private matters.

“You must be able to be the bad guy, remove emotion, handle intense conversations, and bounce back instantly from any mistakes without emotion.

“You must remain sober yet social and inviting in very high profile environments. You can not take photos, post to social media, or be/seem driven by fame. Once the COVID-19 pandemic is over you must be willing to travel anywhere at any time.”

The list of demands is massive. Picture: Twitter

Unsurprisingly the bizarre job listing has sparked fury online after doing the rounds on Twitter – but it’s also left many completely bemused by the extensive and unreasonable list of tasks.

In search of a maid, cook, driver, scheduler and manager who shows no emotion but will still be sociable/inviting without drinking for a part time position that requires you to be on call 24/7 and that pays about 10% of the median cost of living for the city you'll be working in. pic.twitter.com/AA055Qjbwu

So many labor laws being violated here I don’t know where to even begin... PLEASE protect yourself when taking any job like this. You legally can not be required to be available 24/7 without being paid and you cannot be required to use your own car- that’s a liability.

This seems to say "24/7 365 but we have no intention of paying you for all that." pic.twitter.com/nRF1NVH0hS

This is a joke, right? It has to be. For the sake of humanity it has to be. Part time = on the property 8 hours a day and available by phone 24/7? And if performance is satisfactory, it can transition to full-time?

“It’s the ‘wake up client with schedule and coffee’ that’s killing me. you’re also a f***ing butler lolol,” replied one person.

While another said: “When I got to 25-30 an hour I burst out laughing,” with the amount being far less than the minimum wage in LA.

And a third wrote: “HUNDREDS of small tasks at once lmaoooo,”

While it’s still not known who the “well known influencer” is, or how many people are willing to sign their life away, we do know that the successful applicant would have to be somewhat of a super human to do this in such a role.
