[Sigia-l] Job requiringmentos

[Will Parker]

My wife got a fun job alert today for a tech writer position at 'a  
Fortune 500 company'. Among the requirements:

"Technical aspects of this position include extrating large amounts  
of data from various databases and data warehouses. Candidate's  
resumes must show that they they have experience acuiring and  
maniplating data."

Is it just me, or has the minimum standard for hiring management  
personnel dropped precipitously in the past 10 years? I like to  
remind people that we are close relatives to the chimpanzee, but I  
try to draw the line at working under one.
