A unique job opportunity: become one of Canada’s leaders!
Work 2/3 in Ottawa, 1/3 in your local community. Participate in debates and
vote on all legislation in Canada, though 19 times out of 20 your party will
tell you how to vote. Everyone is your boss and most of them don’t like you or
will be suspicious of you, but you will also be treated with respect by many. Reasonable pay and benefits.
We have designed a very unique recruitment process:
Initially you must seek the nomination with the party of your choice in your local community by
getting members to vote for you. Each party has different rules for that part
so we will let them explain it. They will look into all your personal history
and deem if you are fit to run for office; including social media posts, any
photos or videos of you, etc.
Once nominated we will ask that you take 11 weeks of unpaid
leave from work, to work for your new potential job, voluntarily. You will have to inspire a
team of at least a hundred volunteers, fundraise 50-200 thousand dollars, and
work at least full time in the public eye, including most evenings and
weekends. You are permitted to hire staff to help you get your job if you fundraise enough money to pay them.
The hiring committee consists of approximately 100,000 citizens in your area.
You will get their names and addresses and some phone numbers. Please try to
contact each of them individually to explain your qualifications and see if they have any interview questions. Many of them do not want to be reached and
about half will choose not to vote in the final selection (election). You are also encouraged to create a website and social media presence and respond to as many surveys and media interviews as possible.
There will also
be a national campaign run by your party leader which will influence most of
the voters decisions in your local area. You will be expected to have informed
and nuanced opinions on every issue that a voter is interested in, including
and most importantly what your party’s platform and specific implementation plan is on the issue. Many of your personal expenses will be covered, if you can fundraise enough but most incidental expenses are your own. You can contribute up to $1,500 to your own campaign if you so choose.
Thank you for applying. The media will occasionally report on your progress based on random surveys of a few members of the hiring committee or their own personal opinion. All candidates will find out
immediately what our decision is on October 19, 2015 when it is announced on the national news.
PS: You must re-apply, using the above process at least every four years and will be expected
