Lets play a game. (I know I sound like jigsaw off the Saw franchise.) Below is a job description like any other you might find on Monster.com or other job sites detailing the requirements for a personal assistant. I have slightly modified it to conceal some revealing information.  The description has been issues by a high profile executive that I would be willing to bet 99% of the Nation knows (maybe more.)  Try to guess who it is based on the requirements.

The preceding was actually the job description for candidates/ contestants that will be competing on VH-1’s new reality show, “I want to work for Diddy.“  Now apparently this has been floating around so for those who have seen it humor me.  I’ve tried to stay away from reporting about this particular Diddy venture because to be quite honest I think the guy is over-exposed as it is.  However, I saw this over at Wooohah! (Shout to my man Yeti) and I was actually rather impressed with he lack of “Diddity.” (I made up a new word)  You won’t find a a line stating that “the ideal candidate must be complete with a fat ass and lips” or “have a basic knowledge of the Juniors Cheesecake.”  Instead it was very consice. I know some may still get a kick out of the requirements but I’m willing to bet if any OTHER chairman put our a similar RFP or job search it would be much the same.
