Colin, look what you did:

"Sorry! This job is no longer advertised."

--------------------
At a recent job interview, we asked a top candidate this common question: 
"why do you want to work for our company?"  Part of the answer was, "I liked 
your Craigslist ad. It was nicely formatted, and did not have grammar and 
spelling mistakes, like other companies' ads."

Of course, he got the job not just because of that answer (  ), but it 
supports the argument that quality is important not only for resumes, but 
for job ads as well. The best ads attract the best candidates (although to 
be fair, they attract mediocre ones as well).
