In a job description on Monster.com:

Our company is a based in Wilmington, Delaware, a vibrant, growing city located midway between New York and Washington and just two hours from the shores of the Atlantic Ocean.

The only words I've changed are the first two.

1--I'm sorry, I must be confused...that, or those folks are smoking some great weed and not sharing. As a whole, from what I've seen, Wilmington is a toilet.

2--Poor sentence construction. We're all guilty of it at times, but come on! This is an advertisement of your company...would you be willing to hire me as an editor/proofreader?

Genetic Counselor - Were you work says a lot about who you are.

This shit blows my mind. You're putting this out to millions of job seekers, and you can't even use the right word! You know what they say about first impressions...

The sad thing is...this probably slipped by a lot of people.

The *really* sad thing is the hiring companies don't give a shit. They don't have to make a good impression; there's millions of unemployed people out there who will take a job whether the ad is well-written or not.

And thy will hire the cheapest responder...where do you think they got the person who wrote the ad?
