Adventures in Job Descriptions

At TheLadders.com, we see thousands of job descriptions every day. Almost all of them are for mid and senior level people at established companies. So we're not exactly talking risque language.

Ah, but what of those kooky kids over at Gawker (my sister included)?

Looks like they're looking for a Sales Coordinator. Something tells me Heather won't be sending over job descriptions like this anytime soon.

Here's the money shot:

Note: this is not an editorial internship. You will be working alongside GM Sales folk. If you don't know exactly what that means, let me translate: This is not glamorous or arty. Your chances of getting interviewed on VH1 are slim, and getting laid as a result of this position is even less likely. If you've never even heard of Gawker, you might be just perfect.

Is that a dare? Shall we craft one like that and give it a shot (well, minus the risque part)? Who am I to say not to a cheeky job description? You know I have it in me!

It was a semi-dare...:-).

But for what company?
