The main requirement in my job is versatility. On any given day, I could be doing expense reports, scheduling meetings, organizing lunch reservations, reaching out to a new company, stonewalling a company that we don't want to meet with, looking over PowerPoint presentations, entering numbers into an Excel sheet, and (to be perfectly honest) any of dozens of other jobs. The person who takes this job should be well-skilled in Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Outlook. They should be well-versed in how to research on the Internet. A good phone manner is also important, as this position comes into contact with the top executives at new media companies.
I managed to work six months in this job, and do a relatively good job at it, without knowing virtually anything about the business side of what my bosses do, or the products they work with. A willingness to learn this industry is extremely helpful, but not vital. What is more important is the ability to prioritize, as you are working for five very energetic people who all are working tremendously hard. Grace under pressure is a requirement for anyone who expects to last for longer than a week.
For my part, I got to the office every morning at around 8:00AM and left at around 6:00PM. I found that this was the way to keep the day at a pace I was happy with. I would expect that this job can be done well in far fewer hours, but it would be at a more hectic pace.
Sounds like a freakin' blast.  Wish me loads of luck.

Not even when you have to pay for a place in NYC? It beats manual labor, anyway

YOU MAKE ME LAUGH.
That was the coolest and easiest job description i ever read for a type of job like that.
You should see what these BUMS write here in the UK job ads. Your job is a walk in the park, believe me.

I don't think so, every post I've seen from you has been total bullshit.

If you dont belive me just take a look at any of the adverts in any British paper. Opening up todays newspaper .....
"
Vacancy for a Kitchen Hand.
Are you passionate about washing dishes? Does the sounds of the kitchen combiner make your blood pulse race higher? Do you find mental and spiritual devotion from scrubbing dirty trays and pans? If the answer is yes to all these question – read on!
We need a talented and dedicated individual to join our team in our Londons prestigious restaurant. You must have at least 5 years of hands on dish scrubbing experience and posses at least one of the following professional qualifications: SSKWQ (shit stained kitchen warrior qualification), LMBASA(lick my bosses arse society award) or ICSDCWMTIA(I can scrub dishes clean with my tongue industry award).
Duties include 15 hour labor intensive split shifts of scrubbing kitchen utensil, and getting kicked in the ass by the chefs if they find a dirty spot. You are also responsible for scientific mix making of cleaning agents with water: the formula has to be just right, otherwise it will melt you rubber gloves and you will loose all skin on your hands…
Please send your CV and cover letter at least 2000 words and tell us why you think you’re the right candidate for this position. We hope to see you in our restaurant.
Ps. We will require at least 5 references from all your employers for the last 50 years."
Thats the kind of shitty job adverts we get here.

Yeh..
.this job pays 17 an hour. That's enough for me to pay my rent, buy beer, buy weed, and put a tiny amount aside.

It will not be easy. I will be the focal point of the stress and frustration and unhappiness of five corporate executive of a branch of the world's largest record company. This job will be a stressfest to the max.
