How Not to Hire: Whacked Job Postings

The Recruitards.com blog has some amusing examples of bad job posting on the web. Recruitards is "A collection of the dumbest job ads from across the web", complete with comments (in italics.) Samples include:

Please contact for more information, and include links to your work.

Thank you, and Serious Inquiries only.”

Must be able to deal with SHOUTING

MUST BE ESPECIALLY CREATIVE.
MUST HAVE EXCELLENT WORK ETHIC.

(Oh - and they misspelled PLEASANT)

Too bad this blog isn't updated more often. Please help them out - send them some samples.
