What’s wrong, baby?

This is what’s wrong.

Oh Craigslist, you’re always a good source for random encounters, cheap aeron chairs and free kittens… but this is a bit too obscene.

So, let’s all get the message together:
- First, it calls for an editor. Really? Of what: Craigslist ads so they don’t sound like this anymore?
- Then they want a writer with graphic design skills.
- Plus they want someone with a degree in journalism. And of course, in English (for the writing). And then in Arts (for the graphic part).
- Then then then they want skills in Adobe and HTML!! W-H-A-T! (Please adjust comment number 3 to add proper skills/degrees).
- “Experience with digital photography a plus” …………………..
- “Experience required: at least to years writing for a newspaper or magazine along with layout skills”… Oooh no. Is the trucking industry completely unaware that people can actually specialize in things?
- “Willing to help with administrative duties” …. here we go.
- Wait this is better: “Owning a car wouldn’t hurt” hahaha. If they had said “willing to work from the parking lot” or “willing to work from a toilet stall”, it might’ve sounded less shady.
- And on top of top of everything, this is a part-time job. Never mind your awesome awesome skills in writing, editing, designing, coding, driving and accounting; no no, you’ll still have to stay home half of the week.

……..

SRSLY! Do me a favor and let’s stop the exploitation!
If I wasn’t so mad I’d email them, but I have no idea how to address this. Do I say it nicely? Do I try to explain? Do I re-write this post without all the irony? Wait… do I apply?!?!?!
Right?!
