Unemployment is no joke and we’re pretty sure that most of us would happily accept any job going if it meant we’d have some solid income. However one poor girl in Germany was left horrified when she receieved an, ahem, interesting employment offer from her local job centre.

The Local reports that a 19-year-old woman was left shocked and appalled after she received a letter from her local job centre offering her work in a brothel. Seriously. The letter outlined the working hours and stated that ‘good looks’ were a prerequisite for the position.

The unnamed teenager had been looking for permanent work since last November and told local media that she was thrilled when she finally got a job offer in the post last week. However, serving drinks in the nip at one of the biggest brothels in Germany wasn’t the career move that she had in mind.

The teen said she was “totally horrified” at the suggestion, as was her mammy. She said that her mammy screamed after she read about the 42-hour working week and the fact that her daughter would be expected to walk around the place completely naked.

As part of the job, the woman would be expected to wait tables in the nude

Speaking about the incident, the job centre told the newspaper that it wasn’t a joke and they knew they were offering positions in a brothel but stressed that they usually rang potential applicants to talk about the job before they sent a letter. Obviously this hadn’t happen in the case of the teen though.

Roland Furst, the director of the job centre, stressed that this was “something that should not have happened.” He also added that the centre was “very sorry.”

The job centre stated that it would no longer be offering work at the brothel and would try to check the companies who advertise through the state-run office more carefully.
