Yesterday I got a call from a an HR guy. His company needs a writer and he found my resume online. While it’s tempting to veer off into a discussion on how, if you call on a Thursday and for a job that starts on Monday… oh, never mind that. Let’s go right for the meat.
After the call, I went to look at the corporate site to see what they do. Here’s what I found:
[Company Name] is a customer driven organization that delivers a total information technologies solution that transform business objectives into a technology plan that improve your operational and business performance.
Excuse me? What, now?
What now? LOL – rewrite their site?
The first step is acknowledging you have a problem, right? And then the second step is coming a higher power for help. Which: check!
I just hope you can help them. I’ve been on the site for 10 minutes and I still have no idea what they actually do, other than apparently exist as a writing exercise that involves putting as many buzz words into each sentence as possible.
No, seriously, are they for real?
“We apologise for any inconvenience causes.”
See, they could use you.
I turned it down. Though they desparately need the help, there were too many inconvenience causes in the way of my working for them.
