Fake job alert: Veritas Genetics

Veritas Genetics advertised for a graphic designer directly on Indeed on August 5, 2016Take a look at the nice little statistic in bold at the bottom: 



"More than 100 people have already applied to this job on Indeed." Wow. Of course, I applied when that counter was below 50 (cue the laughter).

One would think that "more than 100 applicants" would be sufficient to find a qualified designer. But, I guess one would be wrong in thinking that, as this appeared on StinkedIn five days later...and take a look at how many applicants they received there:




So, they received nearly 300 applicants. Surely that's enough to find one qualified designer!
Alas, look what just appeared today, October 6, as a brand new job on LinkedIn.
*Sigh*...

I can't help but notice that the major difference between the two job descriptions is the presence of a new "requirement," which is "1 to 3 years" of experience. This means nobody over the age of 25 need apply. 

EDIT, 11/23/16: Here we go again, "new" job posting on November 23, already up to 109 foolish applicants who haven't been paying attention...

EDIT, 03/31/17: It's baaaaaaaaack...current count of new suckers is at 53...
