Seeking Executive Assistant To The Mayor Of Funkytown, USA

The municipality of Funkytown seeks a far-out Executive Assistant for the Mayor, or as we call him, our Commander of Groove. The position is based in the town that’s right for you. 

Location:

Funkytown, USA

Company Overview:

Funkytown is a municipality founded in 1979 by Lipps, Inc. for one ‘soul’ purpose: to create premium opportunities for moving and grooving with some energy. And how do we do that? By talking about it, baby! With 42 years of people talking about us, we are the hottest destination for people who gotta move on. Travel Magazine rated us the number one community people beg to be taken to.

We are very proud of our far-out town, run by a mayor who knows how to be a macho, macho man. And our entire staff agrees he is Le Freak (c’est chic).

We don’t have iPhones yet. In fact, we just invented the walkman. But our high schools and office buildings no longer have asbestos, replaced, of course, by flame-retardant funk. And, our cost of living is lower than any other city in the US since1980. Also, we just launched a city-wide Trivia Pursuit Game Night. 

Our town animal is the brass monkey, and we are the home of the AA minor league baseball team, the Funkytown Super Freaks. The environment is a top priority for us, so we offer transportation lanes for bikes, scooters, and roller disco.
