Here are the details of the WORST JOB IN THE WORLD contest. You can win $100 from my wallet, Gary Vaynerchuk’s book, and the rest of the crappy business books and swag in my house.
- Convince me, in fewer than 500 words, why you have the worst job in the world.
- Send your essay to yo@punkrockhr.com by December 21st @ 12PM ET and the winner will be announced on December 23rd.
- I will publish all entries.
- I will use your first name and/or your chosen pseudonym. I will abbreviate the name of your company.
- You must be currently employed and work for the company. I must be able to call, anonymously, and verify your employment.
- By submitting your story to Punk Rock HR, you grant Laurie Ruettimann and Recruitingblogs.com a permanent royalty-free license to use and/or reproduce your story.
- By submitting your story to Punk Rock HR, you release Laurie Ruettimann and Recruitingblogs.com from any civil or criminal liability.
- If you sue me — or if your company comes after me because I didn’t disguise their identity well enough — I will punch you in the face.
Are you game? Send your little essay my way!
Editor’s note: I’ve been asked two questions. “Do you still have a cold in this video? You look worn out.” Thank you, chump. I do have a cold. Appreciate the concerns. “Are you wearing pants?” Shut up, pervert. Also, no.

Well, I betcha that I can could win a best job in the world contest… care to run that one? (I could always use an extra $100.)
I’m with Dan. You’d be hard pressed to have a better job than mine!
and I’ll give the $100 to charity!
Bah, good jobs are boring.
Where were you a few years ago? Could have won it hands down then. Now I have 2 decent jobs, but neither pays me anything.
You may have a little trouble with this contest. Not that many folks have jobs period–good or bad. Just sayin’…
Dan and China Gorman, where do you work? Can I send you my resume?!
Jasmine: I work at the headquarters of SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management). Go to http://www.shrm.org and see what our openings are and apply if there’s a match.
Who’s initials are yo in the email address of your entry? Or is that one of your cats?
It’s YO! Like a white girl shout out to the world.
YO!
Worst job in the world is apparently domestic help in Lebanon since so many of the women doing this job are killing themselves to escape – either by suicide or accidental death during an actual escape attempt. Nothing I would be doing to earn $ in this country could be worse than that…
Hey, you made fun of Gary’s book along with all the other crappy business books. What’s up with that?
Actually, I am interested on your take about business books. Sounds like a future blog post in the making.
Can’t enter contest…very happy in business.
