Lead VIP Host: The Whale Who Loved Me

Senior Security Manager: Red Card Riot, Football Edition

Ever dreamed of being the security mastermind behind a global football tournament? This week, Jen and Paul roast a baffling job ad for a Senior Security Manager role that’s as temporary as a red card. The catch? You’re expected to oversee non-competition venues (think: team hotels, training sites) for a three-week gig... with all the responsibility and none of the clarity. The ad demands a decade of leadership experience, a degree in security or public safety, and the ability to thrive in chaos… but forgets to mention basics like number of locations, team size, staff structure, or even what “non-competition venues” actually entails.

Roast the Post: Happy Hour... Redux

Jen is based in Victoria, Canada. Paul is based in Toronto, Canada. That’s about 3,500km in distance, as the crow flies. Needless to say, they’re almost never in the same place at the same time. Something really cool happened on April 29th though—the stars aligned, and they were in the same city. So? Well, they got together at a pub and held their first ever livestream event—Roast the Post: Happy Hour. Thanks to everyone who submitted questions ahead of time… there were so many, they didn’t even get through them. In this episode, Jen and Paul circle back to some of the questions that didn’t get answered during the live event. -- Jen and Paul roast weekly at https://roastthepost.show [https://roastthepost.show].

Communications Associate: (Musket) Smoke on the Water with Katelyn McArdle

Ever seen a job ad that feels like it was written by a time traveler? This week on Roast the Post, we dissect a Communications Associate role for a nonprofit preserving Revolutionary War battlefields in the United States... where the biggest twist isn’t the history, but the ban on social media. That’s right: no tweets, no posts, just… print ads and event logistics? Jen, Paul, and guest roaster Katelyn McArdle from Functional Authority unpack the bizarre contradictions, from the "entrepreneurial" spirit clashing with the "follow-the-rules" vibe to the salary range that’s almost fair (if the role weren’t so confusingly scoped). Is this a hidden gem for history buffs, or a dumpster fire waiting for an unsuspecting comms pro? Tune in to find out.

Golf Companion: Singapore Sling, Toronto Swing.

What does it take to be a full-time golf companion for a jet-setting family? This week, Jen and Paul tee off on a job ad so niche, it makes their previous roasts look like entry-level gigs. Between the 75% travel, the cultural tutoring, and the mystery of who’s footing the bill for rent in Singapore, this role is equal parts dream job and logistical nightmare. Is it a legitimate opportunity or a scam wrapped in a country club membership?
