Who wants half my salary?

timo klaarenbeek — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:04:01 GMT

Half a salary for free? There must be a catch and yes there is. Get me a permanent job as either a Group Head or Creative Director in London and I will pay you half my monthly salary for two months. To keep things interesting, I will not work for less than £60k per year. I don’t mind if you push one of your directors out of the window. I don’t care if you threaten to take your multi million account elsewhere and yes, sucking up to the board to get me the position is allowed. No matter who you are this is your chance to make sure you have the funds to spend next summer on a tropical island. To help you get started, please find some work samples and my cv on www.halfmysalary.com. Oh, and there’s another catch. The money I’m talking about is half my net monthly income. Yes I know... I should have been an account handler. But don’t let that stop you… Good luck! Timo
