I really had a good laugh at this one! Sadly, it is probably pretty close to the reality of the situation...


]>Sounds like a job 'almost' just out of college to me. I wonder what the going rate is there for such a position?
>
>Well, let's break it down, and see if we can identify a "comparable" position... <s>
>
>Working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), DOS, FoxPro, and Visual FoxPro applications
>
>Well, we certainly aren't talking about someone out of college. Show me a college grad looking to get into programming who has working knowledge of VFP.
>
>Also, ability to lift and carry microcomputer equipment and supplies (approximately 25-50 lbs.) and willingness to work day, night and weekend hours.
>
>That leaves me out. I don't carry anything heavier than my 7lb laptop and a 12oz bottle of Guinness (and the occasional 5lb chip on my shoulder).
>
>All kidding aside, that's just nuts. Do they want someone to solve business/software problems, or someone to haul out the grease trap at the end of the day?
>
>We offer a competitive compensation package, including a company vehicle
>
>Is that the car that has the pop-up Jack-in-the-box on the hood??? Cool!!! Where can I apply?
>
>Meal discount
>
>HAHAHA! I wonder if you get fired for walking across the street to grab that new sandwich from Burger King (you know, the one that has about 300,000 grams of cholesterol in it).
>
>Sense of urgency in troubleshooting
>
>I wonder if that means they want someone who can patch code quickly, or someone who's handy with a mop in case someone spills a Super-sized Soda in aisle 5.
>
>Ability to research, analyze and determine an appropriate course of action to ensure resolution to customer’s problem(s)
>
>"Let's see, I can save you 75 cents if you supersize your order, but only if you eliminate the strawberry milk shake and substitute canned peaches"
>
>Integrity and ethical behavior
>
>(Sings) "Oh you never would believe, where those Keebler cookies come from!"
>
>Excellent problem-solving skills; recognizes when to ask for assistance
>
>"I told the customer to only eat a few french fries at a time...of course, when he spilled his burning 180degree coffee on his lap, that was when I knew I should call for help"
>
>choice of three medical plans
>
>AH! Now I know why they want you to lift 25-50 pound stuff!

>And who said you can't have fun on a Wednesday????
