Comparethemeerkat.com hunts for first human UK ambassador
Comparethemeerkat founder Aleksandr Orlov has begun the hunt for a human ambassador to represent the Meerkat village of Meerkovo.
The six month job, worth £40,000, will see the successful applicant become UK Ambassador to represent Meerkovo at a number of high-profile sporting and cultural events such as Wimbledon and The Lord’s Test Match, Glastonbury and The Last Night of the Proms, in order to raise awareness of the plight of the village.
This is due to the confusing surround comparethemeerkat.com and price comparison website comparethemarket.com, which has jeopardised the livelihoods of the villagers within Meerkovo.
"I am seeking an exceptional talented UK human person to act as ambassador for the Meerkats of Meerkovo. Lucky candidate will be my eyes, ears and claws in the UK, reminding peoples of difference between meerkat and market,” explained Orlov.
The role will require applicants to demonstrate a clear understanding of the problems facing Meerkovo, outstanding communication and interpersonal skills, a proven knowledge of using social media and the ability to devise creative ideas to help communicate the problems at Meerkovo.
Applicants have until 20 April to apply through Meerkovo.com, with interviews set to be held in London on 25 April.
The winner will be decided on the village’s website through a public vote in May.
