I think all resumes should be posted here first for initial screening!
That last photo has someone doing their best Johnny Thrash imitation but you can tell its not him as there are no rib bones visible!
I’m not a chick but I have no issues wearing pink if it gets me free gear.
Ya know, the job seems pretty cool, but the douchebag factor seems pretty high with all the sausagefest crap and the naked guy in the picture which hurt my virgin eyes. You should make it clear that you expect the female ski mountaineer to be giving blowjobs every morning to the naked sausagefest douchebags. That’s pretty much how I read it and it upsets me as that’s my job and I don’t want to lose it.
That part of it? Just want to be clear cause it’s lonely up here in JHole.
This sounds too good to be true. Is it?
Would I qualify if I paid a doctor to install a nice pair of tits on my chest?
Thanks for sounding the cry! Will get you some info stat!
i second that . please post (Anonymusly, of course) the resumes…would be pretty entertaining I think…maybe you could work yourself into a finders fee as well if the right candidate is found as a result.
Like/dislike last photo.
I see a few photos of Petra. Skied with her & Fred here years ago. What ever happened to her? Last I heard she met someone, moved away and got into running or something? Just curious. I would say she qualifies for the job. Strong woman!
A potential candidate friend of mine wants to know: do you get dental with that?
Jimmy, Petra was living (and running) near Los Alamos, NM but recently moved to Slovenia for a year.
Free tooth removal if you happen to fall down something steep, but aside from that, no.
I vote for Sheldon Kerr- ;]
Is this an elaborate joke making fun of women? Huh.
No – it was a serious inquiry and had a lot of excellent and very qualified responses.
