"flexibility to switch gears with little notice" just brilliant
freaking asinine,
Ok maybe because the position has specialist... But half that shit i know, and i dont have a degree....thankyou (online marketing classes, and my inbound marketing cert)

Our HR keep saying 'we cant get qualified people' .. when what they really mean is ' we cant get anyone with the qualifications we want , for what we are prepared to pay '... which isn't the same thing at all.
Motorsport is full of people working 2 jobs , for the money of less than one , just so they can be in the industry... I figured out that work for money , and Moto for fun is the way to go..
thats is an area i've been involved in for years and nice to see someone else into dirtbikes and gear.
They want a firefighter, who is great at knitting quilts. It's somewhat ridiculous.
Pit Row
There is always give and take when trying to hire someone. The company has to have some core experiences that are needed, but likely will train the new hire on all the other items.
I think in this particular ad, the job is so ever-changing and inconsistent on work duties that they had to literally list a ton of items that you MIGHT have to do.
"Hey you didn't accomplish item number 427 and 654 on your list of job requirements"
They get so inundated with applications. I interviewed for a small newspaper job that paid like $25k a year for night editing. The guy says "I've got people in India ready to fly over here right now just for a job interview." This was a pretty crappy job.
I've asked people about jobs advertised on my company's website and the "hiring manager" has no idea- and this is for someone supposedly on their team. HR runs ads constantly to assess the talent pool.
Apply to and get 5 different telemarketing jobs.
Outsource all 5 jobs to India.
Sit back and let 5 citizens of India work for you.
Ride.
The more complex the position, the more complex the job description.
