Barnsley council has announced that its annual recruitment drive will start a little earlier this year, on 28th November.
As usual the recruitment process will be conducted by raffle, with tickets on sale at most newsagents and the Chronicle and council offices until 8th January, with the draw taking place the following Monday. Each entrant may purchase as many tickets as they like, though critics suggest that this year's controversial price hike to £87 a strip is likely to see overall sales fall dramatically from previous years figures. The council blamed having to rebuild the town library that they demolished by accident as the main contributing factor for the price increase.
As no experience is necessary, the job roles will be delegated to the winners in the order they are drawn from the hat. All entrants must be at least 16 years of age as of 11th January 2019, and should have a blase attitude to work.
