7291: Seeking Jack-Of-All-Digital-Trades.


This actual job listing appears to display the employment fuzziness in the digital space. First, the title will demand a gigantic business card. Our industry continues to insist on single-focused message strategies, yet our job descriptions resemble the worst briefs imaginable. And what’s with listing the agencies? BTW, Avenue A is no longer attached to Razorfish (always nice to see recruiters are also clueless about digital). Lumping R/GA into the same league with the other lame shops is mighty peculiar too. Or maybe not. Only one thing is certain: The candidate who fills the position will be expected to execute the functions of multiple people for a single, low salary.
