Do you have brains, brawn, and exceptional language skills, but you’re not too full of yourself as to be above serving breakfast or taking on some light janitorial work? Then a job posting on mbl.is might just spark your interest.
According to the advertisement, Hotel Flóki is seeking a hotel manager who possesses just a few run-of-the-mill attributes:

  • University degree in business, tourism, or equivalent;
  • Minimum 5-years experience in the hotel industry;
  • Skills in finance, accounting, marketing and sales;
  • Ability to speak English, Spanish, Russian, and German (yes, “and”, not “or”);
  • Handle the breakfast buffet, when needed;
  • General cleaning and repairs;
  • Janitorial work;
  • Great physical strength to move furniture and other items.
  • No biggie.
    According to mbl.is Bjarney Lea Guðmundsdóttir, who placed the ad, has yet to receive any applications, though she remains hopeful that the right candidate will turn up.
