Hey Hey Its Job Ad Day!

Wow, jobs galore in today's Newcastle Herald, lets see what they have for me:

ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT

A professional service firm located in Cooks Hill requires a motivated, outgoing person with reception experience for a varied position full of potential for growth.


(An aside: don't you just love those cliches, 'motivated', 'varied position', 'full of potential for growth'?)

Essential criteria
  • Outstanding customer service skills

  • Thorough knowledge of MS Office

  • Knowledge of medical terminology an advantage


Er yes, I suppose it would be an advantage to possess the essential criteria.

... Please address the essential criteria in the covering letter. Only genuine applicants need apply.

Exqueeze me? Isn't everyone that applies a 'genuine applicant'? What is a 'genuine applicant' if not somebody that goes to the trouble of typing out and mailing off an application letter, and who decides this?
Hmmm, moving right along:

CLERICAL CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFICER

The Kooragang based Australian Company requires a full time team member.


Wow, the Australian Company, that narrows it down to about a thousand separate businesses living and working in Australia. What is this 'Australian Company'? A quick google search doesn't help.

And, finally, my favourite for this week:

CAD OPERATOR

Now in my dictionary, Cad="blackguard, scoundrel, rotter, bounder". By the sound of this ad, it must be some sort of machinery, but who cares? Ah, double-entendres...
