No contact info?

 

This company will go under in less than a year. Since these ads are meant for journalists, you would think the writer of the ad would cut out all the buzz words and get right to the point.

 

I'd prefer to work for a Football horizontal.

 

It's a JJobs posting. You can't contact them through that site either.

This has fly-by-night written all over it.

 

Can't argue about moving this one play.

 

Not only is the ad confusing, but this outfit has the worst name since "The Shawshank Redemption."

School of the Legends? Really? Sounds like it was created by the manager of a Chinese buffet.

 

What are verticals and metrics?

 

Manager General Tsao is offended by that comment.
