Reminds me of the posting I saw yesterday that my
unemployed-for-13-months-and-counting signif other saw that stated it
was accepting applications "from persons who are currently employed
ONLY". I guess some HR groups just really love their cut & paste. And
in this job market, people will apply for anything they can.
I guess maybe if all the traditional tech writing jobs go overseas, we
have ample writing opportunities for HR departments. :)

It had the title "Information Specialist" so I thought I'd have a look.
It's so bad that I can't even really read it without getting a headache.
Who, in their right mind, would apply for this job? What kind of
HR/Personnel Dept puts out a posting like this? or, maybe I've just had
a
tough week.
