How's about this for a job opportunity? Uber, the trendy web-based taxi service that is a rival to Hailo, is setting up an Irish operation following negotiations with IDA Ireland.

It is currently advertising on its website for a “city manager” for Dublin.

The ad seeks applicants who can prove they have the usual list of attributes sought by a US internet company: creativity, analytical ability, marketing skills, drive, team player, all that jazz.

But the Uber boss for Dublin also must have the “ability to get shit done” and, most strangely, have “the fear tolerance of a honey badger”. Apparently honey badgers are similar to weasels.
