LOL, either it is joke or it was put together by some no-mind HR person,...
Languages: Must speak English, French (Parisienne, not quebecois), Urdu, Hindi, Mandarin and Russian
I don't swearing in those languages counts CC ;-)
It's pretty clearly a spoof, Zorph. Then again, based on what I know of HR folks, maybe not.
You know, the Boring Tories will be in glee after you post a want ad.....
Just saying...
-24+ years Linux experience.
Linus Torvalds has 18 years since he wrote it, though I suppose it could have been a twinkle in his eye for an additional six years before.
Must have 20+ years MMA fighting experience.
Maybe Tove Torvalds would qualify as six-time Finnish national karate champion?
Funny.. but just not funny enough to almost believable.
Here in Dunedin you see job ads sometimes: I amuse myself by counting the number of people who should be hired to do the job...
The joke aside, headhunters often post sprawling job descriptions for non-jobs in order to pad their resource files.
Hey, don't laugh...I worked at a place in 2001 that posted a job requiring 15 years of java experience....
HR folks aren't the brightest bulbs in the sign...
