impressive job advertisement

I was really impressed with a job advertisement recently placed with tasmanianjobs.com and I wanted to share it with you and get your thoughts...

The advert is for an Officer Manager with a newly opening dental hygiene clinic. It is best to read the whole advert which you can access from this link http://www.tasmanianjobs.com/jobs/view/index.php?id=3271

The advert starts as follows, but as I said, it is best read in entirety (the link to the PDF job advertisement attachment)

The position title will be ‘Office Manager’ but should probably be aptly titled ‘All Knowing All Fix It Boss Lady’. The first and about only rule that I wish to impose, is that no person works “for me” but rather“with me”, as without high quality staff, I do not operate and my business ultimately fails. This business is new and will go through considerable transformation over the coming 6 - 12 months, and therefore will be as much as mine as it will be yours.

Please, have a look and share your thoughts.

Hi Lisa
I find this job ad excellent. The thinking behind the dentist's wording reflects (to me) a person of immense caring and thought, not to mention innovation. He should be cloned, or some vital part of his organs used to inject all other employers in Tas, so we can see a radical change to employment and recruitment practices in Tas.
Cheers - Helen
