In this April 9, 2019, file photo, pedestrians walk on the campus at Stanford University in Stanford, Calif.For $50 an hour, you can be a personal assistant for a “high-net-worth” Stanford student, which sounds like good work if you can get it.
Read more of the job listing, however, and you’ll find what essentially appears to be a position for a butler or parental figure. The listing was posted through Lambent, a “niche staffing firm with a focus on personal and executive assistants.” A Lambent representative confirmed the authenticity of the job listing to SFGATE.and has since gone viral on Twitter for the strenuous requirements necessary to be this person’s personal assistant.
“Student living close to campus seeks support in her personal life and with house management,” the listing begins innocently enough. The dream candidate must be “kind, compassionate and patient, with his or her own sense of authority.” You must also “anticipate and tackle issues without explicit direction.”
Headline banner online reads 'Stanford student is paying $50 an hour to be her personal assistant.' That would be a much different article!
yeah ... that's a pretty low-ball offer for a professional butler, right? i'm not familiar with professional butler rates, but a professional *cleaner* (who i assume get paid less) charges more than that.
How many hours per day and week?
