Staff wanted: bare minimum wage
Job centre bosses have ditched an ad calling for people who like to get naked and pick up partners in bars.
The ad - for helpers at Scandinavia's biggest rock festival - wanted applicants with a "low level of intelligence" and "practical experience of making out in bars."
Now Sweden's National Public Employment Agency has pulled the ad after complaints from job-seekers.
But Arvika festival organiser Jonas Linne, 30, said: "We don’t think it’s offensive at all. Sometimes you get naked at festivals. It’s nice to be naked."
