Follow @TheUnRealTimes

With elections less than a year away, the Congress and BJP have new job openings for stump speech proof readers, which The Unreal Times is posting here on their behalf. The pay will be competitive, and no formal qualifications are required.

Job title: Proof Reader

Job No: #CM2013

Job Location: Gandhinagar, Gujarat

Job Description:

In this position, you will be reviewing drafts of Gujarat CM Narendra Modi’s speeches. You job is to read the entire speech from a critic’s angle, and try and locate any portion which can be found to be offending by personnel from the media.

The next step is to pick each sentence from the speech, break it down further, and look at it independently of the context of the entire speech from all angles to see if any portion can offend any section of the society. We require a person with a very good imagination for this role. This role becomes more challenging as the Chief Minister prefers to speak extempore and uses the written matter only for reference.

Job title: Proof Reader

Job No: #Home2013

Job Location: New Delhi

Job Description:

In this position, you will be reviewing drafts of Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde’s speeches. Your job is to spot the errors of the following types:

1) Delete inappropriate salutations in the speech like Shri.

2) Filter information which has to be kept confidential like the names of the victims of crimes and remove them from the speech.

3) Delete sentences which appear twice in the same speech.

4) The proof reader needs to be proactive in anticipating errors which she may never have encountered before in her career.

5) This role becomes all the more challenging as the Home Minister prefers to read out from his script verbatim without applying his mind. So the candidate has to be extra careful in screening out inappropriate content such as background notes.
