Morneau Shepell too, or, rather Glassdoor!

Here we go again and again from Glassdoor: typos in orange, brainos in blue, plus my analysis of the job description ...looks like I am becoming a forensic editor instead of an employed BA!  Looks like it may be the same person authoring these job descriptions: missing words, pairing nouns in plural with verbs in singular, uneven tone (mixing imperatives with continuous tense), verbosity, undecided punctuation style. And that botched 'thoroughly thought through' ...what a pen twister!

  As job applicants we must write grammatically perfect resumes. I wonder why... just look at this job description, that one is supposed to match (so we are instructed)... I can't believe someone that writes like this has a job... Pure typos are in orange, brainos are in blue, and I marked nothing related to the fluffiness of it all and how it shows the person who wrote this has very little understanding of the "typical day"... 80% of the job description could be applicable to almost any other similar job...
