This is insulting. Its for a medical assistant, not a nurse. But still?!?! I'm 30, but wow this feels like an insult!

Edit: Please edit title to sound better...oops.

No need to feel insulted by this poorly composed and poorly written ad. I wouldn't give it the time of day. I honestly pictured a junky looking for someone to help with his habbit, while reading this.

I'm a nurse so I wouldn't be working as a medical assistant. But have been reading other ads to see what else is out there and what is being offered. Thats when I came across this and made me think about what other employers are wanting.

Sounds shady...

I don't trust craiglist for job hunting.

Yeah craiglist is just creepy in all aspects.

It's craigslist and not a professional recruiter. I put finding a decent job on that website with the same class as picking up one of the free papers in the vending boxes on street corners with health care jobs next to the adult entertainment section.

Not to change the subject too much. But where do you guys look for decent jobs? I have been looking on the major job sites as well. Craigslist occasionally has a decent company posting an ad. Any other thoughts?

Try looking on indeed.com

It pulls from multiple sources, ie local paper, local job websites, career builder, monster, etc. This has been the best search I have seen out there. K

I've been using them quite a bit. I've found they do have the most since they pull from so many sites. But also ended up in a not so good job from an ad on indeed. Thats why I'm back to looking again. I just never thought 35 would be a cut-off for a job! 35 is still young!

That is illegal. It's age discrimination.
