Hahaha, for a minute, I thought you had actually found that real ad that's been running recently in the Times Pic. It goes something like, "Seeking recent JD, must be able to carry heavy file boxes up two flights of stairs, conduct basic client interviews and depositions, and have own transportation. Pays minimum wage. Must be OK with working in my home."

I haven't seen that one, but I did see one that listed these fun facts:


• Flexibility to work long hours with minimal advance notice
• Significant computer work, which may require repetitive motion, prolonged periods of sitting, and sustained visual and mental applications and demand.
• Travel as needed, which may require walking distances, lifting & carrying luggage and boxes, and prolonged periods of sitting in tight quarters.


And yes I applied to it. And yes I didn't get hired. I read these ads every day and they are just getting more and more ridiculous.

I really enjoy when they call it "free" training especially. It sounds such much better than 2 weeks to 1 month unpaid work.
