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?
