This job is no longer advertised." -------------------- At a recent job interview, we asked a top candidate this common question: "why do you want to work for our company?" Part of the answer was, "I liked your Craigslist ad. It was nicely formatted, and did not have grammar and spelling mistakes, like other companies' ads." Of course, he got the job not just because of that answer ( ;-) ), but it supports the argument that quality is important not only for resumes, but for job ads as well. The best ads attract the best candidates (although to be fair, they attract mediocre ones as well). -------------------- Vitaliy -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
