Do you have what it takes to handle the world's toughest job?

A company out of Boston called Rehtom Inc. posted this job listing for a director of operations, and the qualifications required from applicatins were nothing short of insane. Here is just a small sample of what was expected from whoever holds the position:

-Must be able to work 135+ hours a week (plus holidays) and be on call 24/7
-Ability to manage a minimum of 10-15 projects at one time
-Work mostly standing up and/or bending down
-Understanding of finance, medicine, social media, counseling and culinary arts
-Must be able to lift up to 75 lbs. on a regular basis
-Positive disposition at all times

Only one word comes to mind when reviewing the listing: yikes. Ready for the kicker?

The salary for this job is zero dollars a year. That's right. No pay or benefits. Who in their right mind would apply for something like this?

Well, 24 people did, and the hiring manager interviewing the applicants filmed them all. You can watch the interviews below, and we strongly encourage you to wait until the end of the video. Because as it turns out, there are lots of people who already hold a position just like the one Rehtom Inc. is looking for:

Now go call your mom (and dad!) and tell them how much you love them.
