Title: When recruitment agents have a drink before Christmas...
Post by: Zad on December 24, 2014, 12:11:44 am
As you can imagine, the feed from contract recruitment agencies has gone pretty quiet this past week or so as things wind down for the Christmas and New Year break so, when this one dropped into my in-box I had a glance through it. The job spec is for an "antenna engineer". It is 200 miles away, so not ideal, but it is paying £50/hr for a 6 month contract, which is more than respectable in this end of the country. I took a screen shot of part of the job spec - see if you can see why it attracted my attention (yes, this is the job description in full).

:wtf:

I'm not totally sure what system of mathematics they are using for numbering those bullet points. Sadly I won't be applying, as I don't have experience in electromagnets, or in an obscure field of electronics which seems to be called "High deign". I do know how to use an apostrophe though, which may or may not be an advantage.

I suspect the agent really should have taken the day/afternoon off, they really don't seem to have been on best form for this one!

Its a multideminsional numbering, you should know that at least for hypertextroom messaging antennae.

Looks like, not hyperdimensional / hypergeometric series, but merely sequences of triangles. ;)

It does seem that they can use some help.

"High deign experience"
sounds to a little like something religious

You really have to ask: "What are they smoking"

Electromagnet theory? Jeeze didnt realize solenoids were so complicated!

Though all that 'deign' may be a bit hard to do while high.  ::)

The hardest part will be designing what the antenna wants and  hasn't even named yet,  antenna's.....
