OMG Free Food? It’s as if the author thinks that the food will change my decision whether or not to go. The sentence structure seems very pedantic and more like that of something a non-native English speaker (Nigerian scammer) would write. It just doesn’t seem to flow very well — usually in these emails it’s more along the lines of “Company X is currently seeking a customer service oriented and highly creative individual to provide services and support as a Junior Software Test/Documentation Specialist.”
The department later sent out a more formal email verifying that this was indeed real, which I found hard to believe. Regardless, I’m not looking for a job at the moment. I will say that the latest round of recruitment emails from our department and the school’s career services has been much better than the typical “Redneck Technical Services is looking for an entry level web designer in Rustic, VA with a starting salary of $20K.”
