Sadly some do. Another one you’ll hear is “Do more with less and quicker.” I’d just contact them and get a better description on what you are going to be working on. That whole paragraph sounds like it was ran through the jargonator in the old Dilbert Desktop Games pack for PC.

Good luck on finding a job nevertheless!

“and managing leads throught the e-commerce channel”
Gee, my cable TV subscription doesn’t get me that crazy channel. But then again, I don’t think my TV could browse it anyway 😉

That’s a job description from the late 90’s. A question you would expect in an interview for this position could be, “How would *you* maximize return through our e-business channel?” That’s when you laugh and walk out the door.

It’s a bit scary isn’t it ?

Like the job I applied (and was turned away from by an HR person during the first round interviews because of lack of experience) that demanded 15 years experience with MPG4 and Real Video (each!) along with 5 years experience with WindowsXP and a minimum of 3 Years experience with MS Server 2003.

Unfortunately- (1) quite often the people writing the job requirements notice has very little to no _real_ knowledge of the job or at least it’s day to day operation, and (2) all too often you don’t get the chance to talk to anyone in the department until you get through the first round or two of interviews with Human Resource people who have absolutely NO knowledge of the real requirements except what the Req says (see item #1) Makes you want to scream…

That’s pretty boneheaded of them. WinXP came out in 2001… three years ago. Who’d have 5 years experience? I dunno. Morons. Sounds like a Dilbert company. =)

Sounds like e-mail campaigns to me. Not spam if the company is dealing with an option in list that they generated. As you know, email can be tracked like a stripper at a bachelor party!
