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?"

    Why was my comment modded as "Redundant?" The only other fuckthatjob post came a full 3 minutes after mine did.

    Not to mention I also point out another site in addition to FTJ. Could someone swing some mod points my way please for this obvious bad moderation? Thank you.

    "...and your socialized healthcare is still going bust."

    Oh please. My parents remember similar stories from the 1960s, when critics were saying, "Healthcare will be going bust any day now!"

    "18 weeks for an MRI in Canada, I can get one tommorrow in the US."

    Yeah, and how many thousands of dollars exactly is an MRI in the US? Enough to bankrupt someone, perhaps? I can get an MRI in Canada tomorrow too, if I've got the cash. The fact is, if you need an MRI in Canada badly enough (or any other medical procedure), you'll get it much sooner than that. Don't believe everything you read.

    It's amazing how much Americans pretend to know about the Canadian Healthcare system without ever living here.
