Bigger than cheeses

Published 10/30/07

There are some jobs out there that I wouldn’t apply for, but that I’d love to see the résumés of those who did. A perfect example (and what prompted me to post this) comes from About.com:

Cheese Guide

QUALIFICATIONS: Our ideal candidate is someone with professional experience in a cheese-related field.

I could, of course, insert some snarky comment here, but there’s no need. The ad speaks for itself. And I trust my commenters to carry the ball, anyway.

The Fray

One response so far (add yours)

Randy says:

I *do* like that they list as merely the Ideal candidate someone having professional cheese related experience. So it’s not a requirement.

Naturally, I wonder what counts as professional cheese related experience, and what would allow one to remain an amateur and still compete in cheese related Olympic events (am I allowed to even use the ‘O’ word without paying royalties any more?). Would a Wisconsin football fan fall into the pro or semi-pro levels, I wonder?

So many questions.
