And so, finally, 30 days into 2010, I actually get around to the part
where I actually sit down and look at jobs.
Man, if I threw together a CV saying "I am great good at teh computering
of in systems", employers would take one look at it and toss it in the
bin! And yet, a quick search online turns up gems like this:
"Key skills and experiences required for this role are:
Unix, Windows, Linux, Red Hat, Solaris, OS environments. [...]"
Newsflash: Linux *is* Unix. Red Hat *is* Linux. And ALL of the above
*are* "OS environments". Learn basic English! :-P
(I'm guessing whichever recruitement droid tapped this in didn't
actually have any clue what they're talking about, they just copied it
from somewhere.)
Another amusing moments include:
"Company name
RecruitementCons"
...?!
"ultants.com"
...ah. OK.
Anyway, at the moment the worrying thing is that a basic search for my
chosen target area turns up only jobs a significant physical distance
my experience level]. I guess the lower stuff just gets put in the local
paper or something rather than on Monster?
