With every year, I grow more cynical. Just seen this job ad.

Imagine being the person who wrote this. Wonder if anything of any tangible value has ever been delivered there?

I did laugh sir!

May be I'm wrong, I don't know. It think it is understandable.

It's extraneous detail, though, which points to a degree of cluelessness and officiousness. They should've stuck with BA for data improvements. Then again, you can never take these ads too seriously.

We can actually infer a lot of things from this job description.

1. Very large company
2. Likely to be Financial or Insurance or Government.
3. Possibly Greenfield, therefore longer contract duration.
4. Spec could have been written for the audience within the company.
5. As they couldn't find any one internally, they have advertised just by copying it.

Points 4 and 5 are most likely where the extraneous info comes from.

Sometimes, if you're aware of the company, then knowing that detail is helpful as you'll have a rough idea of which part it's working with and (potentially) who.

Few more contracts about now but all uncontactable. I feel the pimps are CV harvesting.
I am going to apply for JSA in the meantime and continue gaming at home.

Just finished Splinter cell 1!

on first look, it appears they actually don't know what they want, I've just (a personal retro of sorts) gone back through all contacts I had for a role as a BusinessProcess consultant ( BA that draws boxes- whatever blah). from Dec 2023, 22 phone calls with agent, 1 interview late dec with program manager (no PMO, No business case, no formal PMO doc's or processes, no product owner, no other PM's - no major stakeholder identified, no clear sigma waste/targets, but surprise a hard deadline in May , with a regulatory stop in Aug). lol.

Finally, after rescheduling 3 times in Jan ,I get to "present". examples of my work and how I got there, so I have quite a few, p2p, aviation safety, education, lead to cash, legal criminal process etc blah blah blah. BPMN notation and or whatever the client wants - to be honest I think o over did it and confused them, I must remember to take 1000mg in magnesium or have a Scooby before engagement again

3 stakeholders finally attend, 1 of whom I was not told , and all of whom are clueless as to what they want, they can't seem to grasp the process, asking questions like. "how would you approach a stakeholder that disagreed with you". how would you conduct a remote session, lol.

Then to cap it all, they then only want to pay for a 3 day week, but I'll bet they clock watch and send requests on the other 2 days

bye!! nope, I think I'll stack shelves

Time spent learning this (we're all learning and I should have trusted my spidey sense earlier in Jan). about a day, well worth it!

bet they miss that deadline with flying colours

You've find a role that's ripped off the perm job spec? Well done.

Hardly worth a post or getting banned for. See you in a couple of days.

What I wanted to point out was did the agency not check before posting the advert?
