Job postings that make me laugh... and cry

Job postings are usually pretty ridiculous and it's hard to imagine that anyone actually fully fits the requirements. Occasionally (actually, quite frequently), however, a requirement on the posting just makes me laugh and wonder if they are trying to make it impossible.

Today's laughable requirement:

"Minimum 3 years experience in preparing design and working drawings using AutoCad 2007"

Unless time travel is possible or becomes possible, I'm pretty sure no one has 3 years experience using AutoCad 2007.

My favourite will always be one Mekki came across:

Qualification: Outside the box thinker
Level: Moderate

They want you outside the box but not too far outside the box!

I don't mind sharing. She's pretty cute... for a cat.

Kosher humour... or is it treyf humour?

I'm highly amused by Evil Monkey’s Guide to Kosher Imaginary Animals.

Mermaid -

A: “No, for the obvious reasons.”

EM: “What if you marry one? Is that kosher? Will a rabbi marry you?”

A: “Kosher is a term about eating, not about sex.”

EM: “I’m not talking about sex–I’m talking about marriage!”

A: “If the mermaid is Jewish, the rabbi will probably marry you. But only if you’re Jewish too. But you’ll definitely have to find the right rabbi…”
