What Ads REALLY mean…

Monday, August 14th, 2006

The following post was posted today on Robert Merrill’s Good Recruits

I received a funny note about the way classified ads are written:

Word processing skills essential:
There’s a crippling case of carpal tunnel syndrome in your future.

Salary range $24,000 – $32,000/yr:
The salary is $24,000.

Civil service:
This job was filled from the inside six months ago.

Top-notch communications skills:
Telemarketing.

Outstanding benefits package:
Health insurance.

Progressive Company:
Employees get to wear jeans every other Friday.

Dedicated:
You’re looking at a minimum of 80 hours a week from now until you’re forced into early-retirement.

Tons of variety:
They took all the heinous tasks no other employee would do and rolled them into one job.

Words won’t describe it accurately anyway…
