INTERVIEWS FOR THE WORLD'S MOST UNUSUAL PROFESSION BEGIN IN LONDON

Candidates for one of the most unusual jobs ever created -'stewards' aboard The HENDRICK'S HORSELESS CARRIAGE of CURIOSITIES - are being invited for interview. The process, in front of a live audience of other candidates, will test applicants' cordiality, good grace, fanciful imagination and ability to tease out the curious nature of visitors to the carriage.
The HENDICK'S HORSELESS CARRIAGE of CURIOSITIES is a
converted 19th century rail carriage stuffed full of unusual objects such as steam powered tickle machines and Japanese warrior butterflies. The carriage stewards are required to regale visitors with stories of the objects' origins as they tour summer
festivals. Visitors to the carriage are also encouraged to write short stories about the exhibits, with the stewards building a collection of literary delights for publication at the end of the tour.
Interviews will be conducted by Major Tinker of the Victorian Steampunk Society (www.thevss.yolasite.com).
Applicants are welcomed from all sectors of society, especially those individuals with a nose for the delightfully peculiar and who meet the additional job

such, members of the Steampunk community, with their distinctive dress and brass goggles are likely candidates.
