24 Terrifying Job Ad Blunders (Halloween Special)

In 3 days time, little children everywhere will be doing their best to scare the lives out of unsuspecting adults in the hopes of receiving candy for their efforts. But recruiters the world over are already trying to frighten away thousands of job seekers by making some of the silliest job ad blunders known to man.

‘Bust’ or ‘busty’ instead of busy. ‘Ruining’ instead of running. ‘Booing’ instead of booking – yes, the internet is rife with dodgy job ads. And for the weekend that’s in it, we thought we’d share some of the most terrifying (read: hilarious) job ad blunders that have graced real job boards in the last 12 months:

1. I would have preferred to work for a busy store, but I’m desperate so…

2. Miss your turn and you have to wait until the week after ????

3. This sounds like a fun job!

4. Well, desperate times call for desperate measures.

5. That bullet point No.4. Can you even say that these days?!

6. I’m sorry, but just what are you asking me to do under bullet point No.7?!

7. Shall we just poo in and see them?!

8. If Clint is so good, why are you advertising to replace him?!

17. Would 2 out of 3 be okay?!
