The successful Christian ex sec should be able to obey all office decorum policy, rules, and regulations. We expect Sec to keep his or her working conditions neat and tidy at all times, be punct...

I do not have an account so I can not read all the details, but I believe that this is a Government contract job; meaning, the company hiring for this position is under Government contract and therefore being paid with tax dollars.

Also, why the hell does a company need such a position?

[lonestarnot]

1. $7.25 - $10.00 for a Masters

:rofl:

[gateley]

2. And a Masters gets you $10 bucks tops? It almost sounds like it's from the Onion.

They should be fined for that alone. Can we bust 'em? :evilgrin:

[styersc]

5. Fined? Are you serious?

There is nothig illegal about this add. Gov't contractors are private, not public positions.

Sounds like a position for a Bob Joneser or Liberty U.

[54anickel]

6. Liberty U was the first thing that came to my mind. n/t

[lonestarnot]

10. Embarrassingly slavish attitude toward employees there, I must say.

[gateley]

13. Oh -- I misread it -- I was thinking 'government'. Must have glazed over the

"contractor" part. I was still reeling from the $10 wage for a Masters!

[NYC_SKP]

3. No reason to be Fed contract. Sounds more like Christian lobbying effort.

"Also able to communicate effectually with Federal, state, city, and municipal governments on The Holy Scriptures of the Bible and how they relate to the laws that govern mankind"

:shrug:

[54anickel]

4. Masters Degree, 3 years experience for $7.25-$10.00? WTF is THAT about? n/t

[styersc]

7. Wecome to the Union-free southeast.

Not uncommon wage.

[lonestarnot]

15. right to work slave labor bullshit.

[54anickel]

18. Really? I am shocked. How would anyone be expected to pay off their

tuition at that type of pay? Even a Liberty U on-line degree costs some big bucks. I remember looking to relocate to FL or AZ back in the late 80's and finding pay scales a bit lower than here in the midwest, but not drastically. The lower cost of living pretty much made it a wash. That was for HS graduate, blue collar type of work.

[bertman]

19. Oh, I disagree with that. Even laborers make $7 to $10 an hour here in North Carolina.

That seems like a really bad wage, even for the Southeast.

Of course, if you're working for Jaheeezus, why would you need to make a living wage?

[Indenturedebtor]

8. Hah well clearly they know they'll only get one from a fundie nutjob "university"

Which is why they have to mention "can talk gud"... they probably just fired some dud with just such a "masters".

[waiting for hope]

9. Wow -

It may be a scam -

Basic Job Information: $7.25 - $10.00, Full-time
Required Education: Masters Degree

That is an insult.

[Canuckistanian]

11. Wanted: Christian sucker

Able to perform miracles. Salary commensurate with with competitive janitorial staff.

Atheists need not apply.

Drug test mandatory, subject to Federal law.

You'll enjoy our corporate culture! Free parking.

[XemaSab]

14. Exactly

:P

[Indykatie]

16. How Does One Communicate "Effectually"

The education requirement seems unreasonable given the position and salary even in a poor job market.

[Brigid]

17. And the word is "effectively"

I have a BS in English, and it just drives me insane how badly writing skills in this country have deteriorated. This is something any high schooler should know. Grammar, punctuation, and spelling were actually big topics back in my high school English classes.

[Lancer]

20. I know. It took a while to chisel my term papers in granite,

so I was careful with my grammar, spelling and punctuation. Those tablets made my backpack mighty heavy.

I graduated from high school in 1978 -- it sometimes seems like it was 1878.

[Brigid]

26. I graduated in 1976.

We painted our homework on cave walls. :P

[rucky]

27. The pay may stink, but there's a higher reward waiting for you.

[Brigid]

12. How serious are they, really, about filling this position?

Good Lord. :banghead:

[RagAss]

21. Chumps

[Warpy]

22. It sounds like they want somebody to lecture the Feds

on how to conduct business according to the babble. I'm puzzled about what such a company could be and all I can come up with is a megachurch that has gotten used to swimming in faith based tax dollars and wants to keep the gravy train rolling.

Still, a degree and 60 wpm? They're not going to find anybody for that parsimonious paycheck. I have a feeling that job will go unfilled for a very long time until they find some babble school grad who can barely read and hunt and peck on a keyboard.

You get what you pay for, folks.

[Stevenmarc]

23. WOW Talk really is cheap

[Liberal_in_LA]

24. I've seen jobs posted (non profits) with religious requirements

[marybourg]

25. A copy of this should be sent to the Atty Gen'l of the State of S.C. nt.
