So I got an email for a job today which had the following line:
Plans, conducts, and coordinates programming application activities. Analyzes, designs and implements business application computer software that contains logical and mathematical solutions to business problems, questions or processes.
I decided to Google that phrase (the whole phrase). There were a ton of results. The results were not generic, they were exact matches. People had the exact phrase, punctuation and all, in their LinkedIn description for past work in at a job and other jobs in other parts of the country had the exact same phrase. This is the problem with most jobs now. They are not really important enough to write a job description. If you are going to hire someone to work for your company and pay them thousands of dollars, don’t you think that a little more effort than a simple cut and paste would be deserved? With a job description like that, do you expect me to be able to do all my work via cut and paste?
