I love job ads, despite the fact that most of them are of no use to me. The main reason I love them is because so many of them are written so badly that they are highly amusing.
Take this ad for a “TV Commercial Filming Production Assistant [1]” which contains such lines as:
Currently we are looking for a person who is outstanding and happy with fast and team- work environment.
[..]
Compliment Criteria.
[..]
Assist Exe. Producer and Line Producer, Assist over all filming production procedure on location site.
[..]
The successful applicant will:
– Enjoy some hard works with co-operative mind.
– Control the balance between relaxes phase and fast working season.
But my favourite line of all…
“better don’t” just sounds like it’s supposed to read “better not”, which makes me wonder what happens if I do apply for it.
