Position Title: Chief of Super-Secret Government Agency

Location: Washington, D.C. vicinity

Responsibilities:
The selectee will be responsible for management of a sprawling, super-secret government agency in pursuit of the War on Terror. The ideal candidate will have a dueling scar running through one or both eyes; have a liking for capes with high, stand-up collars; and cause underlings to quake in his presence. He or she will manage a diverse organization of thieves, cut-throats, assassins, women of shady virtue, con men, goldbrick salesmen, and soldiers of fortune. Responsibilities will include recruitment, training, promotion, and ruthless elimination of minions and henchmen; the design and procurement of secret weapons and formulae; and the production and execution of plots, counterplots, subplots and schemes. A knowledge of the working of wheels within wheels is desirable.

Duties will include, but not be limited to, undermining the culture and economies of small to medium-sized nations; conducting shadow wars against both nameless and named forces of evil; and overall subversion of large portions of the world.

A generous compensation package is offered.

#18  ..What impressed me was that whoever wrote the ad knew the difference between minions and henchmen, and that's the kind of outfit I want to work for.
The only question I have is what kind of company car do you get?

#16  HR sez you have to have some GS-5hm's for diversity...
Posted by: Frank G   2004-12-22 5:36:40 PM  

#15  No, you can't use a GS-5HM + a GS-9HM.

Sniff, I remember when I was on the cutting edge of shark jumping.

#14  This is why super villians always fail -- Frank keeps pushing GS-5HM's on them, and a GS-5HM can't even mop a floor without slipping on the soapy water. You need quality help these days, and a GS-14HM is absolutely essential.

No, you can't use a GS-5HM + a GS-9HM.

#9  Steve - with an unlimited budget you can shop online at VillainSupply for those neat secret lairs, weapons, and henchman

#8  I won't even consider the job unless my headquarters are on a secret island with a volcano or a orbiting space station. I do have standards to keep up.

#7  I dont care as long as I get paid and get a crack at those 'women of shady virtue' -- LOL!

#6  The position will be so super secret that not even the holder will know that he has it.

#5  I recommend Maureen Dowd. She's got the ruthless thing down pat. I can arrange for the dueling scars myself (for a nominal fee).

#4  How are the benefits? I have a pre-existing condition.

Fits Old Spook to a T, I would think.

#1  Sorry, no capes for me. Not since I saw "The Incredibles".

Although I will compromise that for the "women of shady virtue" perks!
