At least this paper is honest about it, but it always amazes me when a company won't contribute $500 to help lessen moving costs for the right candidate.

 

And those who do or do not get exactly the talent level they pay for.

 

This one comes open very frequently.

 

Don't drink the water ...

 

Read: They want you warming a seat for eight hours a day, and whatever you need to cover outside of those hours is your problem.

 

didn't have this job, but I have worked in j'hole. it's close to the beach, which is where I lived the entire time. came to town, worked, and left.

 

Can a person live on the "$20,000 to $25,000" that's being offered?

 

That's the one saving grace about Jacksonville - it's 30-45 minutes from some nice beaches.

 

it's actually quite expensive to live in j'ville. rent is way higher than it should be, due to the base...

Whoever gets it should keep a copy of the ad. When they leave at the end of 40 hours, and the boss complains, show them the ad and tell them that they're admitting to making people work unpaid OT.
