Fake Job Post of the Week
One of the founding principles of Jobacle.com is to offer career advice and information without the BS. Several months ago we started posting fake job posts that started showing up in our inbox. The original thinking was that it would be funny to see how pathetic these solicitations are. But now we realize that it is more of a public service. There are some smart folks out there who have fallen on hard times. Desperation can cloud your mind. That is why we are asking you to forward us any fake job offers that you get. Please send 'em to jobacle@gmail.com. Here's the latest fake job post:

All jobs listed are allegedly fake. For all we know, they might actually be real. Unicorns might really exist too.
