HAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH <-- This is my first reaction after I read the last sentence of this job advertisement...
I was lurking in Jobstreet.com after a dotA session with 3 insanely made human.
This vacancy catches my attention. At first, I thought Mid Valley is hiring. Opps! After reading it again, Mind Valley it is! It really grabbed my eyes for reading it. It is definitely not a boring advertisement, I would vote it if Jobstreet.com launch the best job advertisement competition.
What makes me blog this? Definitely not the last sentence of this advertisement! Trust me! It is not!! okay?
I browse into their website, http://www.mindvalley.com/. Hell! I see funny stuffs like inspiring sentences and how they values professionals. Of course, they are tough in people selection, I think!
Anyway, I do not have what it takes to click the "Apply" button for this advertisement.
Yah... I don't simply apply jobs but I am not choosy, ok?! Please don't start the "Kok mING is very choosy about jobs" war with me... I am saving your life because I can kill you in seconds just with my speech! Thank you very much!
It attracted me. As a job seeker, I would love to see others getting a job like this too. So, let's spread this for them a bit!

Need More Reasons to Quit Your Current Job and Work for Us?Here's Top 10 Reasons to Be Part of MindValley.1. Freedom: We understand that brilliant people hate rules and shackles and desire the freedom to do their work, in their way. We let you create your own work hours as long as they are fine with your team mates.2. Thinking BIG!: We're not aiming to create an email software, we're aiming to create the biggest revolution in email since Gmail. We're not content with creating blogging tools, we aim to create the World's first "intelligent" blog. When we build an e-commerce site, we aim to put it in the top 1% of sites for performance rates. We aim to be as influential in improving people's lives through technology as Yahoo, Google or Apple. We love Big, Scary, Audacious Goals. Many people say we're nuts. We consider this a compliment.3. Profitability: We're fully profitable, and continue to see our profits grow by at least 100% year-to-year.4. Great People: We hire only the best. For a typical position we shift through 100 resumes and interview at least 10 people. Make it in, and you'll be working with some of the best minds in the business. We understand that "A" people attract "A" people.5. Treats: We treat our employees well. This includes occasional concert tickets, Starbucks coffee, dinners and drinks and parties. In the last quarter we've tossed company parties in Luna Bar, taken our whole team to first Tioman then Redang and rewarded employees with trips to Bali. Our founders have worked at Microsoft and eBay and believe in the Silicon Valley model of treating Great People (see #4) in Great Ways.6. Creativity: We let you spend 15% of your time each week working on your own projects or inventions. If your project is successful, we'll help you launch it. We've modeled this after Google and 3M's style of nurturing creativity within the organization.7. Stability: We've never taken a drop of investment and so have no investors to pull the plug on us. Our business also spans multiple industries such as internet marketing, product development, publishing and coding. This protects us from short term market trends in any one industry.8. Fun: We put the "Fun" in "Business Fundamentals". Don't get us wrong - we're a disciplined, well-oiled engine of growth. But we believe that business should be fun and people should look forward to going to work each day.9. Idealism: 100% of our employees have spent significant time volunteering or working for non-profits. We started this business to change the world. As a result, we will devote our time and attention to causes that may not bring in short term profits, but may result in positive social change.10. Entrepreneurship: We understand that great people dream of starting their own companies. We help you attain this dream. We provide training and mentorship to help you grow. We do not require any employees to sign a bonding contract (we find this practice ridiculous). Simply, put, you're free to learn from us and then move on when you're ready and start your own business - with our blessings. We respect entrepreneurship.
