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

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?"

You think they spent 2yrs developing win2k? Dunno that might be pushing it, 2months, maybe i'd give ya. But 2yrs? come on.

You hit it, right on the nail.

You want to hear something hillarious? Tell them sure I'll gladly work for $5.25/hr. They like scream and hang up the phone.

The whole purpose is to justify the H1B and/or outsourcing, to legally document their desparate need for more H1B and outsourcing.

What is "bilingual French" anyway - two dialects of French?

Just French, but you can say "I surrender!" in German.

There is a US Public law called "Title X" that you need to look into.

Basicly, you cannot monitor communications between your users and a server. It is considered the same as wiretapping.

I don't have a good explanation of what you can and cannot do, but my company does not review logs unless another problem brings it to our attention. Even then, our rules of conduct make it difficult to take action agianst an employee.

It seems like crap, but if we have a URL causing excessive resource usage, our only recourse is to block it. Confronting the user would be the same as confessing to a "Title X" violation and open us to prosocution under Federal law.
