Ask HN: Gig/Job ad strangeness

2 points by shareme 15y ago ↗ HN

I am finding among the real strange gig and job ads that I am choosing only to respond to those ads that have an equal amount of test on skills required and text about the product.

The number one strange ad that I encountered was one requesting consensus be built among VCs for product direction rather than say customers.

What is the strangest thing you have seen in a gig or job ad?

Maybe not hugely strange, but:

includes:

"have at least 7 yrs of experience and maximum of 9 yrs in developing web pages"

There's a whole lot of people they're not going to get because of that :)
