Even In A Bad Job Market, There Are Jobs To Be Had

Bemoan On Campus Recruiting and PennLink all you like. But before you write off job-browsing altogether, allow yourself a look between the lines of McKinsey and Goldman -- there are postings of jobs that take degrading to a whole new level.

A posting from "Z Boss Inc." for the position of "Executive Assistant to CEO" reads:

"I need an assistant that can plan appointments, keep up my women and keep them satisfied (planning dinners, sending them flowers, making them feel important, etc.)... picking up laundry, assorted other errands. This would be the easy part of the job. The rest would be assisting with all high-level thinking and planning that goes in to the growth of the company as well as working directly under the CEO (no pun intended)."

Obviously, this is offensive,  chauvinistic, and frankly, kind of fucked up. Obviously, this is a prank (and not even really a funny one). But the job was posted on June 9. It's now almost October. What gives? Is Career Services playing some kind of sick joke on us (doubtful) or do these postings simply go unchecked?
