Looking for a job that combines the difficulty of coal mining with the frustration of deep sea fisherman? Why not be the Chicago Cubs’ next PA announcer! The job description and entry link is right here at CareerBuilder.com:
Requirements (boldface is mine):
* Strong vocal talent, excellent enunciation skills
* Strong public speaking skills and ability to speak extemporaneously to large crowds
* Strong knowledge of baseball
* Must be available for all Chicago Cubs 81 regular season home games, makeup games, tie breaker games, play-off games* and non-game day events. Schedule includes nights, weekends, non-traditional hours and holidays, as needed
* Ability to work outdoors during periods of extreme weather
* Prior experience working as a Public Address Announcer in collegiate or professional sports (television or radio preferred)
* Interest in supporting Cubs’ community and charitable efforts a plus.
I would hurry, because I’d imagine that both Charlie Sheen and Ted Williams already have their resumes in.
* = In theory.
