>> I can find out if we can change it to "doesn't give a crap about their job or the cause" if you like? >> K You could possibly change it to include the following traits. The ideal candidate: - doesn't give a crap about their job or the cause. - says all the right things at interview but doesn't deliver on the job. - knows how to suck up at the right time so that all egos are kept suitably smoothed. - ensures that management communication targets are met regardless of any media takeup. - can't understand why all this interesting science stuff isn't covered more often. - regards journalist questions as an inconvenience to be talked over until they shut up. - promises to get back to journalists about questions but will never do so. - sets up interviews then will always have something important turn up on the morning. - gets pompous when forced outside the normal comfort zone. - goes sick if facing a bunch of really hostile journos, aka the 'death in hospital' scenario. Actually maybe you should put this stuff in a job ad. Might lead to some interesting interviews - I'd recommend a hotel ....
