A classified ad offering a job in the New York publishing industry has been posted, and reposted, with almost no changes for more than 10 years.

The curious job offer advertises a PA/research associate for "a busy executive" in New York City, with no further information about the employer. The salary is described as between $90,000 and $110,000 per year — generous, for the role.

Weird. I wonder who's behind it and why they keep running it.

The giveaway qualification: "Must have grace. But not too much grace."

I thought so too. Or something involving the CIA or a rich serial killer looking for victims or a just plain psycho with time to burn or a Russian mole.
