Typical

Can you say "age discrimination":

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

So if I were transsexual Hindu Inuit born in Belarus my chances would be much better than mine are.

More craziness from another job ad

"Overseeing the acquisition, ingesting, cataloging and archiving of digital media assets."

Feed me!

CHECK OUT THIS AD COPY!!!

Remember the Seinfeld episode where Elaine broke up with a guy because he didn't use exclamation points and then Mr. Lippman told her to remove all of the exclamation points she inserted into a manuscript written by that ex boyfriend? Mr. Lippman would not like this copy (including the bolding and capitalization) from a job ad I just saw:

PROFICIENT WRITER NEEDED!!

Must have own transportation to Work!!

IF YOU HAVE A PASSION FOR WRITING, THIS IS THE JOB FOR YOU!!!!

Please reply to this AD and attach you Resume!!

To a prospective employer

F**k you for doing this as part of the application process! This is part of an application for a freelance resume-writing gig. Guess who didn't apply.

"Finalists will be asked to complete an editing assignment at home and several timed copyediting tests during the interview process."

For a position in Arlington that I won't be applying for.
