I got this email from a staffing agency this afternoon:
“Position: Print & Web Designer

Estimated Duration: Fulltime

Job Description:
A leading retailer company has a need for a roll up your sleeves Print & Web Designer with 2+ years of experience.
The ideal candidate would be working on multiple projects (i.e. magazine & newspaper ads, collateral, corporate identity, product catalogs, website redesign, flyers, brochures, invitations, etc.) This person must have a good eye for typography and color. Our client is looking for someone that can do a bit of everything, a jack of all traits!”
And LOL about the last line. “Jack of all traits”? What kind of traits are we talking about?
