The Royal Family Is Reportedly Hiring a New Assistant, So Prep Your Résumé
Alright, my friends, 2018 is the year you snag your dream job—and if that job’s working for the royal family, then you’re in luck. According to news.com.au and this LinkedIn job posting, the royal family is hiring a communications assistant. That’s right, recent graduates: It’s possible your first post-college job could be with Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and company. Can you imagine?
The lucky person who scores this gig will join the family’s official communications team, which aims to promote “the work, role, relevance, and value of the Royal Family to a worldwide audience.” In other words, you’ll literally get paid to gush about how amazing Prince William and Kate Middleton are. That’s what most people do at happy hour for free.
To be fair, the job’s a little more involved than that: It’s a communications position, so you’ll be writing feature articles, social media posts, and press announcements about the royals. In addition, the assistant will “organize coverage of set-piece Palace engagements, including investitures and garden parties, and provide support as required for off-site engagements.” So attention to detail sounds like a must for this job.
But there are perks, of course. For one, you’d be based in Buckingham Palace and have the opportunity to travel with them overseas and across the U.K. If you’ve ever wanted to watch a bad movie on a private jet with Prince Harry, now’s your chance. (We bet he’s a hilarious travel partner.) If that’s not enough pull for you, though, the assistant also gets 33 vacation days. I’d spend those inside Buckingham Palace just twirling around, to be honest.
