What's the Worst Job Posting You've Seen?

Posted by Cliff on from the fun-for-a-Friday dept.

Kickstart70 asks: "Recently myself and a number of friends of mine who work or worked in IT jobs have been remarking on absolutely horrible job postings for low-level IT jobs paying small change. It seems the headhunters and employers are still wanting knowledge in everything, at least one degree but preferably two, and want to keep employees on minimal wages (in the job listing linked, the wage is in Canadian dollars). Is this common everywhere? What's the worst job posting you have seen?"

    at Fuck That Job dot com ..but you know, there are so many of these postings that it's really not that funny anymore. It just reaffirms our belief that management really is trying to squeeze everything they can out of the pee-on workers.
    Gotta do something to give that CEO his bonus (studies show that executive compensation has gone up over 17% in the past year. Bah.)

    But in Canada, being bilingual is normal. French and English speakers are common. And $17-$19 CAD is far above minimum wage.

    Although French-English bilingualism is common in the eastern provinces, it is rare in the west. Less than 7% in BC and Alberta. I would say this percentage is even smaller within the techie demographic.

    I have Tons of Positions(TM) open right now... we develop software to perform Radar Cross Section Analysis.


    Now, for those of you who clicked before reading on, the only drawback is that I have no money, so there is no pay :) It's all just for fun, but still something you can do to keep your skills up and have something to put on your resume if you're between jobs. There are about half a dozen of us right now.. it isn't such a bad gig :)
