Seen in a tutoring job ad:

"Please let me know if you are local."

Yeah, with the only geographical information being that you are in the same time zone as New York, it is going to be super easy to know whether I'm local to you or not.

The New York time zone is a large slice of the Earth, ya know...

"... in case you would like to take a loo."

I am deeply offended at the implication that I might want to take a loo!

Seen in a tutoring job ad:

"[My son] is a varsity rower, so efficiency and focus matter."

Gotcha... so I'll be efficient and focused for your son but not for other students.

(Newsflash: I'm always focused and efficient, varsity rower or not.)

Pro-tip, from a math tutor:

When you post a tutoring job ad, be as specific as possible with your ad.

Someone posted an ad.

I replied immediately.

They came to me 1.5 hours after their posting with requirements that were not in the original ad.

Did they conceive of those requirements between having posted the and contacting me?

I doubt it.

They just underspecified in the ad, and corrected that when they decided to talk to me.

We could have saved us both some time if the specifications had been clearly laid out in the original ad, because, guess what,? I would have passed.

Their requirements were legitimate, but I just don't work the way they want. I also have to say that if I had known those requirements, I would have asked for more money. It seems to me what they wanted was more a *teacher* than a *tutor*.

So I passed. I was polite. I did not berate them... but I passed on the offer.
