The Warilla Licensed Post Office recently shared a job listing via Seek for a retail traineeship.

The advertisement for the full-time trainee role said Warilla Licensed Post Office is looking for an "enthusiastic person" of "either gender" who has a great work ethic, "and is interested in a customer focused job, to join our team".

The advertisement noted that the potential trainee must be able to interact with a wide range of customers, be honest and reliable, be able to work in a team environment and eager to learn and able to take directions.

However, in a since deleted part of the ad, the description also noted that the successful applicant "will not be an over entitled millennial with an inflated sense of entitlement".

The advertisement has been criticised via social media, with one person noting that while they "actually thought this was funny", "this is plain discrimination based on bias (sic) views".

However, licensee Angela Cramp told the Mercury that this was an entry-level job, "and we need somebody who is looking for an entry-level job".

"They will not be the boss," she said.

"I'm the one who's responsible for employing this person... We have elderly customers who require somebody who is going to learn the job as it's required.

"I am not saying I don't want a millennial... I've had five of them already employed, they've been trainees and they're all still in the job."

Ms Cramp said she didn't expect the "crazy" response to this part of the ad.

"I don't see the point in going through telling people that turn up for a full-time job that it requires you to be here from Monday to Friday, and they say, 'oh, no, I don't think I'll be able to do five days - I might be able to fit three into my life'," she said.

"That was my desire to have somebody who wants a job, who understands it's an entry-level job.

"It's a complex job and we want someone who understands that."

Ms Cramp said Seek had removed the line about the millennials, after claiming it was "age discriminatory".

"I'm not saying we won't employ millennials, that is certainly not what we're saying," she said.

"It's saying the successful applicant will not be somebody who doesn't understand an entry-level job requirement."

Ms Cramp said they'd already received dozens of applications for the role, with many of them from millennials.
