2. It’s very important to be “immaculatly presented”… it’s just a pity attention to detail isn’t quite as important!
Are you “immaculatly presentented”? No, neither are we. This advert starts badly and doesn’t get any better pic.twitter.com/5cy6ppjOaG — Bad Job Ad Mistakes (@JobPostShame) January 7, 2016
3. You do learn something new every day!

6. You say tomato, I say tomato… you say “Respite care”, I say “rest bite care”… wait…
Don’t expect to see this sort of mistake in an ad for a senior role. There’s no such thing as “Rest bite” is there? pic.twitter.com/sq2KnFbIsG — Bad Job Ad Mistakes (@JobPostShame) January 5, 2016
7. Much better than a croissant or a pastry! This place has some real perks!
Nothing quite like an early tart! pic.twitter.com/VLyGeA1VoI

9. Bitter much?!
We get the feeling this advertiser is a bit bitter about past experiences pic.twitter.com/PLXwgLmei4 — Bad Job Ad Mistakes (@JobPostShame) December 10, 2015
10. Because the morning sh*t is just so much more fun.
We like the casual way they describe the duties carried out at the end of the day. “Oh yeah, that’s evening shit” pic.twitter.com/3zDqnLDSgW

That’s no way to describe tardy pupils! pic.twitter.com/bvjwipkoL8 — Bad Job Ad Mistakes (@JobPostShame) December 10, 2015

Should have gone to Specsavers. Oh, hang on! pic.twitter.com/YRtj0XNAIN
