Pacesetter Story: Got Work?

[Ima Myself]

Found these stories on a website, and thought I'd share in case they
go away. Most are good reads.

Got Work?
----------------------------------------

I wanted to share the following advertisement that ran in our local
newspaper this past Sunday, November 17, 2002. Sounds a bit desperate
to me and why would anyone respond to an ad like this? Seems
pressurizing just by way of the advertisement:

"COME ON PEOPLE"

"This is ridiculous. Every time I run ads for different departments
in my organization I get limited response. There are no gimmicks, no
surprises and no hidden factors. Pacesetters Corporation is the
largest in America in its field. We have all the benefits that large
corporations could offer. In other words, not only great income but
you get all the goodies too! Vacations, trips, awards, insurance and
retirement opportunities. Starting income is $40k-$60k per year.
Sounds good so far, doesnt it? That's why I can't understand why in
the world you wouldn't investigate this opportunity."

Then they offer the standard, experience preferred but not necessary
speel, and a name an number to contact.

I for one was offended that this person assumes I am too stupid not to
respond to his ad. Anyone else think so too?
