Tree Climbers Needed
On CareerBuilder, I noticed a search result for "Tree Climber." Although I care nothing for working with trees, nature, or especially climbing, I just had to see what this job is about:
TREE CLIMBERS/FOREMAN
30 YEAR ESTABLISHED COMPANY IN THE BUFFALO AREA IS SEEKING RELAIABLE, EXPERIENCED CLIMBERS FOR A RAPIDLY GROWING TREE COMPANY. MUST HAVE CURRENT DRIVERS LICENSE. OUR BENEFIT PACKAGE INCLUDES MEDICAL. PENSION PLAN AND PAID HOLIDAYS. $20 + PER HOUR DEPENDING ON EXPERIENCE. CAREER OPPORTUNITY WITH UNLIMITED ADVANCEMENT.
My first thought is about $20+/hr "depending on experience." I can imagine people saying "I've been climbing trees since I was six, so that's plenty of experience."
My second thought is about their benefit package including medical. Is there a job that involves climbing trees where you don't get medical benefits???
Also, I never knew you needed a driver's license to climb a tree. Maybe you're driving some sort of tree-climbing vehicle up to the top.
In the end, I'm just horribly disappointed that they simply stated "unlimited advancement" instead of "Work your way up this company!"
