Job Advertisements

Had to share this gem with you.

You know you live in an economically depressed place when a job add says:

"Preference will be given to candidates who meet the above requirements and have one or more of the following barriers to employment:

-incomplete high school education
-contact with the justice, child and / or social assistance system
-residence in a rural or remote location
-low levels of literacy or numeracy
-previous health, drug and / or alcohol related problems
-residence in a single parent household
-a street youth
other significant impediments toparticipating in school or the labour market."

Now I thought we wanted to encourage our youth to stay in school, stay off drugs, learn to read and write and stay out of trouble with the law, but it appears I may be wrong.

It is for the creation of a community radio service. I only have the newspaper copy of the ad, I'll check for an internet version.


I've looked at eth HRDNB and HRD sites and can't find a link for this job posting. it is basically a make work project in a really poor area of teh province. (Highest unemployment area and one of the lowest household income areas)
