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?"

  1. On-Call Outlook/Exchange Admin by BigRedFish · · Score: 5, Interesting

    As soon as I see 'Administer Outlook/Exchange' and 'on-call 24/7', I don't care how much it pays.

    Besides, I don't have 5 years experience with 2K/XP. I don't know if they do that to weed out liars or what, but it's a big red flag to me that the employer is reality-challenged.
