Whilst looking for a new job some of the ones that were on offer made me laugh - or roll my eyes
"The role will give you the chance to really concentrate on the exciting side of testing and not just the execution. The role will be approximately two thirds analysis and planning (writing test plans, test cases, test scenarios etc). "
So the exciting part of testing is the analysis and planning ?
"The company offer amazing benefits, pension, healthcare, bonus, dental care, long service vouchers, discounted products, free breakfast, sports lounge, casual dress code (including jeans) "
A free breakfast and the chance to wear jeans at work was pretty tempting I have to say
"Test Analyst - This person will be responsible for the quality of all software released by the department"
Yup, the quality has nothing to do with the programmers and everyone else involved so I wasn't falling for that - and certainly not for the very low salary that was being offered
"The team is a good mix of Manual, Automated and Technical Testers so a pedigree of managing such teams is imperitive."
Managing testers could be like herding cats, but not at this place as they seem to be well bred
"In addition to being a 'hands on' member of the team this person will typically spend 1.5 days a week ensuring that their team members test plans, test scripts and test metrics are completed and that all associated defects identified are progressed appropriately"
I did like the precise definition of how your time would be spent
