Ability to work cross-functionally to obtain consensus on marketing projects while keeping deliverables on track.
:lol: :lol:

"Ability to work on several projects at once."

OR

"Ability to multitask," if you don't mind a little jargon.

In all seriousness, I'd love that type of job, though I'm both over- and under-qualified.

The article says, "Sports Entertainment Industry." I am not exactly sure what that means, but apparently they are looking for a person with horse playing experience.

Don't they know that we got involved in this game exactly because we wanted to avoid "stuffy" jobs like this one? :)

On the contrary, I got into racing as a career precisely so I wouldn't have to rely on my wagering any longer. :eek:




"South of Pittsburgh" sounds like the Meadows harness track to me.

I thought "Sports Entertainment" was the new term for WWE "Pro Wrasslin".

Are "Ability to get hit over the head with a chair" and "Experience falling off a ladder" parts of the job requirements?

:bang:

If i were them, i'd get rid of the bachelors degree and ask for a person who graduated the school of hard knocks instead.

Funny stuff! This is America....try minimum wage. (I'll avoid the Texas/Gov. Perry comments since this is not the place to do it).

"Can you read at a seventh grade level?"

"No."
