Screwed


the job market is screwed. we're looking at another 2001-2003. i applied for 200 jobs in those two years, and couldn't even get an interview. when i finally did get a job, i had to take a substantially lower salary than i'd had for quite a few years. this is sucking. sucking really bad. i almost feel like writing that out loud will make it true, but who i am kidding. it's waaay already happening. i'm starting to have to consider jobs like this one:

"Do you drop terms like “call-to-action” and “open rate” OH NO. into even casual conversation? Are you excited NO by the opportunity of delivering health content directly to those who need it most? NO If so, this is the job for you! ACK!!

The Newsletter and Content Producer is responsible for overseeing Healthline’s newsletter products end-to-end NOT THAT AGAIN, from strategy and planning to execution and reporting. NO!

Requirements
- Entrepreneurial spirit and can-do attitude RUN TO THE BATHROOM
- Understanding of electronic newsletter best practices and standards VOMIT
- Knowledge of online content strategies DON'T SAY STRATEGIES
- Understanding of web statistics and analysis" DIARRHEA TOO
