Today's LOLjob: "paper company", eh?

[prog]

http://jobs.perl.org/job/8016

Let's see:

• Yellow flags:
  • Company name written in lowercase
  • Entire job spec contained within ad
• Red flags:
  • Email address a GMail address, even though this is supposedly a paper company
  • Googling this company's name returns no relevant hits
  • Mention of "bids"
  • "We'll pay you via PayPal"

Edit: Looks like j.p.o shot it down already, which is the first time I've seen em apparently yank a dumb ad. (Not that they get a lot of dumb ads, them not exactly being Craig's List.) Nice going! Too bad I didn't get a screenshot, though...

Wait -- they wrote the full specs of what they needed written in the job ad? Is that what you meant by your second 'yellow flag'? I'm not even in the field and that sounds strange and wrong to me.

Yup, and yup.
