Question Is this the worst job ad in the world?

I've been doing a little job hunting and have seen some bad ads but this is just incredible, http://www.hotrecruit.com/show_job.c...08&t=permanent

I'm staggered!

Bob

PS, if you know of any motor trade related jobs near Lossiemouth, Elgin or Inverness, please let me know!

Seems he's got a lot of interviews that day at that hotel, and all his other ads are equally poor.

I thought the job I applied for was worded badly, this one is unbelievable, I'm not even sure what the job is! Mobile phone sales?

Just as a side note, how long does it take to hear summat from sending in an application? It's been three weeks since I sent mine off and I'm continually fobbed off by the agency, I'm starting to think that the job doesn't actually exist and they're just trying to get folk to send their CVs in

(I've never used an agency before, all my jobs have been found through word of mouth)

Un f***ing believable.
Hardly a full stop or comma in sight, spelling mistakes on simple words and it doesn't actaully make any sense.

Question

Ironically, the bloke who wrote the ad is probably minted. Dyslexia and entreprenialship seem to go hand in hand. Not sure why he's be writing the ads though...

Yeah I don't doubt that he's minted, makes you sick doesn't it?!

I consider myself to be reasonable at English and Grammar and all that, by no means perfect but I look at these job ads and I wouldn't employ half of the folk who write the ads yet I'm putting my future in their hands!

Mark, what's the German in your 'Location', is it summat to do with you being a bus / tram?

Literally translated, it means 'Everyone's mad apart from me, and I'm a trolley bus... ding, ding'.

It's been up there for a while and I ought to change it.

Nice one.

I know what you mean - Mrs K gets very upset when I refer to her as 'procurement' or 'HR'.
