The Task at Hand
Ok, I know this is San Francisco and I'm talking about Craiglist here not the back pages of the Economist, so how can I really be surprised to come across the occasional weird job posting? Here are two of the more bizarre ones I've come across lately:
ZUNI CAFÉ seeks experienced Full-time oyster shucker.
Email resume in the body of your email - do not send attachments.
Please put OYSTER SHUCKER in your subject line.
It would be one thing if it they offered to train you, but you have to come with EXPERIENCE? I'm dying to see the resumes of people applying for this job. Do they have subheadings like "Shucking Experience" or "Oyster-related Jobs"? I suppose shucking full-time would be very labor-intensive and would require a certain kind of personality...but, dang, how disheartening to think I'm not even qualified to shuck oysters. But, wait, here's a job I'm totally qualified for:
Kink.com is currently seeking a highly skilled Production Assistant.

Whoa, I almost missed number 11! Shouldn't that kind of requirement be rewarded with a bonus of some sort?
