At this Chicago fish market, no jagoffs need apply (jamokes neither): A poem

07.01.2020 by David Murray // Leave a Comment

Sir Earnest Shackleton's famous "Men Wanted for hazardous journey" ad was apocryphal, but The Fish Guy Market's ad is as real as a woman with a broken nose. 

Seeking help for Friday and Saturday

@The Fishguy. We may provide more hours if you are a good fit.

Very physically demanding.

On your feet all day.

Fast paced.

Will be working with fresh fish,

and live shellfish in and out

of refrigerated environs on wet,

floors, which you will be cleaning.

And more cleaning.

Still interested?

If you know us, and what we do, you

may have an idea of what we need.

A mature, pleasant demeanor, and

a willingness to be a part of 32 years

serving Chicago residents, and it's

vibrant community of notable

restaurants, may get you an interview.

A City of Chicago sanitation certificate

is a big plus for you, and us!

We are not age discriminate as none

of us are Spring Chickens, but we

do not suffer, indecision, laziness,

inconsistency, nor lack

of manners, and mutual respect.

We are not looking to hire students

for summer work, as too much effort

goes in to it on our end.

We want a new team member as we continue to navigate these times.

Must be neat, well groomed, in good

health, possess a sense of humor,

be outgoing and well laundered.

This is a non smoking shop.

Are we being too picky?

Maybe that's why we have been

serving Chicago for more than 32 years.

If you believe you, or someone you know

may be a good fit, please send

a note, resume, or a seafaring tale

to bill@fishguy.com.
