During today's job search, I ran across this strange ad:
Can you write, I mean really write? Does Doing Web Copy Interest You
We are looking for someone to become part of our team to become protege of a top internet copywriter
Do you feel like you could slip into the role of professional copywriter sooo easily, and do it better than most others out there? but your not totally confident yet in your copywriting ability?
Can you integrate the left and right hemispheres of your brain to create copy that's both emotionally persuasive and logically sound?
Good. Then email or call me now David XXX-XXX-XXXX
Does this sound like a "top internet copywriter" to you?
He has problems figuring out title case and basic capitalization, leaves off punctuation, and uses "your" instead of "you're" in the second "paragraph." And I didn't know I could "become protege." That sounds like fun!
What do you want to bet this is a scam of some sort?

As you know, I've been scouring the job postings a lot more these days too, and I'm aghast at some of the things I'm seeing. Maybe I've just been too busy to notice, but it seems like matters have gotten really bad of late.
I agree.
I've been out of touch with the whole job search scene for so long, though, that I don't know if it's just been lately, or whether this trend has been developing for a while.
Maybe someone who has been searching for jobs regularly can shed some light on the subject for us!
That guy is legit! He emailed me and we're supposed to start work. I require 50% deposit so we'll see if he's a loser or not ;)
Jessica,
Thanks for letting me know! I'm glad to know he's legit, though I still wonder about the "top copywriter" part...
Becoming protege sounds a bit painful...
Yeouch, I don't know how much I would want to be a protege of someone who has such a poor grasp of English....
Hmmm.... I hope Jessica updates and lets us know for sure.
