    Rubbish jobs thread

    Do we already have a thread for particularly rubbish jobs?

    As I trawl Jobserve etc. every day (I'm "resting") I usually see at least one job paying HOW MUCH??? IS THAT ALL??? an hour. I keep wanting to show these to people and go "Look at this. Appalling, innit?" but someone must have done that already, surely? Or is this thread it?

    I don't mean the jobs with typos in (£35-40k per hour), I mean the truly awful ones. Not the Senior Technology Executive (minimum wage) meaning 'helpdesk bod' either.

    For example: http://www.jobserve.com/WE28EC456DC229A58.job which is a Junior Project Manager (ideally PRINCE2 qualified) at £14 / hour.
    Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

    What a brilliant idea - will paste the worst here from now on, am always seeing the most ridiculously floral jobs on the boards. One the other day for Senior User Interface Designer, team lead, expert AJAX, JS, JSP, XML/SL etc... 16/17ph

    Are these people mad? Who applies for these jobs?

              ICT Project Manager, £140 / day

              http://www.jobserve.com/WAA81593E884E83E9.job

              "... an experienced Project Manager ... must have experience managing projects from start to completion ... project management qualifications such as Prince2 ... Rate £18.90/hr"

              So, a properly experienced and qualified, PRINCE2 Practitioner project manager for £140 per day.

                Fast track visa applicants. There's a skills shortage don't you know?
