The owner of a garage in North Lanarkshire has come up with a hilarious no-nonsense approach to recruitment.
Airdrie Tyres and MOT Services, who are actually based in Coatbridge are looking for a young person to help around their unit in Heritage Way.
Business owner Robert Sweeney decided to use the company’s own Facebook page to advertise for a “yard boy” who will be rewarded with a wage that is “utter p**h”.
The advert advises that “no wee hard men” or TikTok “influencers” need apply.
The social media post has already been shared over 1,400 times and has seen hundreds comment on the hilarity of the advert.
Interested applicants have been warned that they will need to get their hands dirty and if successful in landing the job have been advised not to wear “Yeezys” trainers or Palm Angels shirts, as a uniform will be provided.
The applicants have also been informed that while they won’t be eating “steak every night” with the pay they will be on, they will earn enough “for a vape and a couple of soups down the park, so everyone’s happy!”
Those interested in the job have also been advised that they will need to personally phone to be considered, as the garage won’t be accepting messages or phone calls from their “maw”.
Staff member Kaitlin Woods, said: “I must have taken about 100 calls already but people are just calling to say they aren’t interested in the job but found it hilarious. Honestly, I’m sick and tired of hearing the sound of my own voice.
“Robert wrote the post during his tea-break, it’s his patter. It took him about three minutes to write it.
“We were laughing last night when we saw all the shares it had. He said he could have made it 10 times better but I was rabbiting in his ear at the time.
“We’ve still not found anyone for the job yet. We’ve had some amount of messages, and someone keeps asking if it’s still available and I’m like, ‘read the post’ as it says to phone!
The company were named Scottish Recovery Company of the Year at last year’s Scottish Garage Awards.
The job advertisement in it’s entirety reads:
"Now that the summer holidays are here we are looking for a yard boy to help out with tyre management and general chores around the garage.
“It’s Monday to Friday 9-5, for the idiots that’s breakfast till dinner.
“No wee hard men or f****s, also no insta guys or tik tok “influencers”…It’s engine oil here not baby oil…I don’t care who you know or who your da knows, just come, do the job and go up the road, stories are for bedtime.
“Wages are utter p*** so don’t think your eating steak every night. It gets you out from under your maws feet and gives you enough for a vape and a couple of soups down the park so everyone’s happy.
“No message applications, I don’t have time to break into 5,000 messages with you to ask for a job and also don’t get your maw to phone or you’ll get laughed at.
“This is a dirty job so no Yeezys or palm angels so you can tell your maw to stay away from DH gate, you’ll get a uniform so no need for that.
“PHONE and I do mean PHONE for more information 01236 763223.
