Jobs You Immediately Ignore

This kind of sounds like a "throw everything at the wall and see who we get" type of job posting.
I'm trying to upvote this but it won't let me!

Finally it does!

@coliver I agree, they are looking specifically for people who aren't interested in anything particular, just people who "need work." Not a good starting place.

This is when it pays to know thyne market.
Without a company name, or a recruiter, I can't say for certain what the job will exactly entail. But knowing Richardson, we can eliminate Fossil, BCBS, Verizon, AT&T, Ericson, and a few more of the big guns. They don't write shitty job posts. From the listing and the barebones description, it's a L1 QA and/or tech support situation. And knowing Richardson, most of the jobs revolve around telcom somehow, be it Broadcom, the Samsung R&D lab, the chip foundry by ST Micro, XTE, or something like that.
That said, with that level of education, generic posting, and all other factors, my guess would be it is for Cisco.

Hmmm....no clue. Recruiter is out of NJ.

That matches with the expected low quality of expected respondent.

I would say that's harsh but I've talked to one or two of their support reps..

It's not to say that they are dumb over there, just that Cisco might have hired a crappy recruiter.
It could be for a completely different company, no way to know without asking.

I saw them speak at SpiceCorps Houston, their team were not qualified at all. Really bad. Completely technically clueless. Sales people always make stuff up but their people didn't even know how to lie plausibly they were so inept. Telling people that they needed 14Tb/s connections PER desktop to be able to stream YouTube in an attempt to sell equipment that Cisco didn't even make because they had misunderstood their own press releases.

@thanksaj Don't be knocking Jersey now...
That said, it looks like someone scoured the web for "Basic Tech Support Template" and just cut/pasted. Especially when it comes to the Required Knowledge portion.

That sounds quite extreme.

It was. Completely insulting to us and embarrassing to them.

@scottalanmiller The Million Dollar question is... did they realize it? Or was it only when you called them (if you called them) out on it...

NO way to call them out on it, they were so clueless that they couldn't tell when people knew things and when they didn't.
