[ale] Job listing

[Jeff Lightner]

Except for the one obvious typo I didn't see anything wrong with this
email.  It seemed to be written by someone educated that didn't run a
spell check.  I've been guilty of that myself.

Also some "local" jobs ARE written by international people.   When I
worked for a major pharmaceutical in RTP North Carolina about half the
folks I dealt with were in the U.K.   However, this email didn't have an
"English" feel to it - just and educated one ignoring the one typo.

[rest snipped for brevity]

Back when people actually looked forward to reading their daily
newspaper,
I worked in many a newsroom as a writer, photographer, and editor.

This job description reads as if it were written by someone for whom the

English language is not his native tongue.  When I see stuff like this,
it
always makes me a bit leery, especially when the return address seems to
be local.

YMMV
