What's ' willing to get hands dirty'?

The requirements of a job are:
1. Willing to get hands dirty
2. willing to take ad hoc assignments

Could anyone explain what they mean?

Thank you for your help!

Re: What's ' willing to get hands dirty'?

What's the job title?

If it's a small company, it may need the staff 一腳踢.

1. Willing to get hands dirty ?-(
May be my English is bad.
唔一定係要洗廁所 :lol: :lol: :lol:
可能係要洗吓杯,倒吓茶,招待客人.
換吓 toner, or may be just simply take out the jamed paper from photocopier,
點吓貨,搬吓貨.落手落腳做野掛.so that you've to prepared that your hand will be dirty.
唔知有無估錯.

2. ad hoc - informal, not pre-arranged, not in the routine; special task that arise from urgent needs.
任何特發性的工作.

Anyway, I guess they want a staff 做什麼都無所謂,唔好斤斤計較話唔係自己工作範圍.

昊昊媽,

Guess what? I find the following:

Getting our hands dirty

"We were all mothers, many grandmothers, and we'd lived through our years of dirty diapers, disgusting tissues, vomiting children, sick pets, strange things lurking in sink drains, and even odder things in jeans pockets. We might not like it, but we'd all learned to get our hands dirty in the service of those we love."
:arrow:
"We might not like it, but we'd all learned to get our hands dirty in the service of those we love.":exclaim: :idea:
:arrow:
Does it mean, you have to love your job and prepared to get your hands dirty (devoted to your work and involved in every area)? Am I right?
Any 高人 here?

BTW, have you applied that job?

charlene,
I really appreciated your effort. I've asked so many people, I guess you are right at the beginning: 落手落腳做野

No, I didn't apply, because I know nothing about law. :-P

Re: What's ' willing to get hands dirty'?

昊昊媽,
willing to get your hands dirty - an american slang, which means you are willing to do whatever it takes to finish the job even though its not in your job description. In your case, for example, if a customer complains, then you need to find out the root of the problem even though it may mean you have to do things that are not "usual" in your job description.

hope this helps
