I’ve seen plenty of Help Wanted ads…mostly while I’ve been digging through newspapers and Craigslist while muttering something about “needing experience to get the experience needed” or something similar. It’s difficult as a job searcher to completely know what the company is looking for, and that’s because whoever is in charge of writing the position request is normally about as clear as mud when describing the job type and the ideal candidate. This guy is not that guy. This guy has had a run of crap luck trying to get a skilled wrench into his shop, and has apparently had enough of the deadbeats and skill-less, so he’s resorted to reverse psychology to try to get good help. Thanks to Nick S. for sending us this link!
