Editor seeks Personal Assistant who is capable of working independent and has worked in office situations

O rly.

Okay, so maybe this was a typo - but what about the other errors in this ad?

Sounds like the editor needs an assistant to cover her/his arse on the job front, too. While personal assistants do need to play gopher and babysitter now and again, what's up with the age specifications? I'd hire a tech-literate Mary Poppins or Mrs. Doubtfire for this job in a minute.

"Ideal candidate will be between 23 and 27 years of age..."

I wonder why the employer is specifying this particularly narrow age range.

It looks like CraigsList deleted the "Must be HAWT" qualification. Must be part of their new deal with the DA.

Mebbe max age is due to hiring person thinking older might affect power dynamic with mom, such as in front of kid.

Or maybe based on assumption that older will have ticking bio clock or is defective if not already married.

Or could be that mom telecommutes for some snooty fashion magazine, and has exacting requirements as to the appearance and comportment of her personal assistant.

All those sound nutty to me, but completely within the range of the typical CL poster.

If you are requiring that the person be familiar with Twitter, Facebook, etc. then all of your candidates are going to also know better than to work for anyone who still uses an "@aol.com" address. Hehe.

These days, aol.com is just another free webmail address, not that different from gmail or hotmail or yahoo or whatever.

Have a gmail account. AOL is for the parents!

No, sorry, not the Wang thread ...

We have our own domain, as do several friends who have kids. It works nicely since we can monitor traffic to our kids' addys and make adjustments when the spam gets out of control. If Grandma needs an addy, just make one for her too. Nice.

It also makes it possible to create temporary "spamhole" addresses for things like craigslist and freecycle and other signups that would mess up the main line.

With the server I lease for UH and other stuff, I get 10,000 e-mailboxes. We're now down to our last 9,990 or so ...

...don't need to dig as deeply as their email address to find something cool about themselves. New Mommy has a gmail address, but seems to be just fine with my height, driving skills, and overall awesomeness, despite the fact that I have an AOL account.

I feel like I need $12-15/hr just for reading that description. I know people are scrambling for new work, but that's a ripoff.

'Familiarity with style sheets, APA, Chicago, MLA desirable;

Chigaco, MLA, APA are citation style guides, yes? I'm assuming 'style sheets' refers to css. I'm not convinced that 'has style in the description' is the proper way to categorize this grouping.
