Want to work for Kate Middleton? Here's your insider's guide

Here's one of the most interesting job tips you're ever going to get, and it didn't come from LinkedIn or Monster.com.

The British Royal family is hiring.

And the gigs up for grabs aren't half bad.

Among the current openings are Windsor Castle gardener (read: a chance to spend days on the stunning palace grounds), exhibitions projects coordinator (i.e. working with one of the world's most historic art collections) and collection online project assistant (sharing stories online about said historic art collection).

Many Americans, a euphemism in this context for royalty novices, may not be aware that the royal family posts job openings online in the same way a business would.

But have a look at The Royal Household website, and there it is, a "careers" section.

To be clear, one will not find postings here for a career as a lady in waiting for Queen Elizabeth or a listing to be Kate Middleton's personal secretary.

But for those who daydream about a royal life, you've got to start somewhere.

And who wouldn't want to work, in some small way, for a fabulous individual like Kate Middleton? Well, perhaps the truer statement is who wouldn't want to be Kate Middleton, (the stunning clothes, the beautiful homes, the exotic trips, the adorable kids), but we digress.

Earlier this year, the site included an opening for an "innovative, social media savvy expert" to lead the digital engagement team at Buckingham Palace. Sounds fun, right? Pretty sure there are countless among us who feel qualified enough to Tweet and post pictures of royal life on Facebook all day long.
