You might have noticed that I am looking for a job, and in the process I have found many Job Descriptions to be innaccurate. They are also far too verbose and take too long to read, and have too many words in them.
I have therefore condensed the content of some these Job Descriptions, just in case you are interested in a new Job. Please note that the Job Titles are genuine.

You must be able to tread carefully to as not to destroy evidence. It is desirable that you can identify when the boot is on the other foot. You will need spatial awareness regarding tread depth, and the ability to avoid putting your foot in it.

Its all a scheme to make jobs sound grander than they are. They call me a work assistance operator. I prefer the common name, factory labourer.

I am not a great fan of detailed job descriptions. They are always out of date if written in too prescriptive a form. I prefer a looser style with 4-5 main points or tasks listed.
