the corkiest
Been paying attention to job postings a little more closely lately for whatever reason, and some of them are pretty interesting. Take this one:
We need a creative, corky, romantic and fun writer to help with our online site for Friday 11/30/2007 and Monday 12/3/2007.
That is the entire text of the listing. But no more needs to be said. You can tell all you need to know about the company from just the one sentence. First, they have an online site to work on. So that’s good. Very now. Their online site is in need of something to be written, obviously. So they’re looking for a writer who’s creative — a creative writer. There are plenty of those. But how many creative writers can say they’re fun, romantic, and corky? Not many. Plenty are fun, several are romantic, and some are corky, but all three? Could be tough.
This ad is perfect. It took just one sentence for them to ask for a writer and leave no doubt that they need one.
