A Very Particular Man

This one just made me chuckle.  I'd probably enjoy having afternoon tea at his place!
XO, Your Hiring Manager

Perfectionist Seeks Perfectionist Housekeeper (Midtown)

This is a job for an extraordinarily detailed, compulsive neat freak who wants to achieve perfection in a household working 30 hours per week for a single very busy very particular man with no pets. Do not reply to this ad if you think it's ok to fold shirts without a template, if you think that organizing ties in color order is odd, or if you permit wire hangers in your closet. THIS IS NOT FOR YOU in such a case. But if you are compulsively neat, totally obsessed with organization and achieving household perfection, know how to make a basic lunch ever day for the employer, cannot stand the thought of messed up fringe on a carpet, can wash and iron like a pro, then this might be for you. The job is 30 hours per week, and pays $450 / week with two weeks paid vacation per year. Must be legal to work on the books, and must have impeccable references and the ability to communicate in English. Please do not waste my time if you are simply a basic housekeeper. The successful candidate joined Joan Crawford in her outrage when she pushed the planter out of the way to find a dirt ring on the floor. You do the same thing, and comet is your best friend, you don't mop but you scrub, and scour, and love the smell of clean. Please don't waste either of our times by replying if this is not you.
