I think they're reaching with that add. They're looking for an experienced IT person, they've spent years being rogered. :(

Probably the one time i'd actually enjoy interviewing somebody for a job. Wonder if they had anyone 'intelligent' enough to actually apply after reading the criteria?

Given who would read the prerequisites and actually apply i'd say they only had one hair colour in mind. ;)

So since they are an "equal opportunity employer".... and as long as I 'met the criteria', I could still get the job?

Someone is getting fired over that one for sure :P

I like how it's just snuck in there.

You'd be suprised at how many people would miss it as well!

I like the bit at the bottom of the ad , applicants must be prepared to undergo a strip search to make sure they meet the requirements.

Slightly off topic, but why does every damn person in brisbane want a "female professional" as a housemate, sweet jesus, im so tempted to just rock up in a dress holding a briefcase, talk about discrimination!

viral marketing perhaps? most dudes will get a laugh out of this, and perhaps Border Express will gain a few customers.

asking for a female professional has risks as you could call a hooker a professional ( after all in sport a professional is somone who gets paid)
