A job, or just a lot of work?

While some companies have started to hire more people, here’s one job posting that I don’t believe is indicative of a turnaround:  Charlie Sheen is looking for a social media intern. Whether it’s a job or a ploy — it has all the makings of a stunt, given the wording and given the promotional aspect — the unlucky “winner” (pun intended) would certainly find that it’s a lot of work.

To make another point, while I’m on the topic of Sheen, I would remind you that his antics cost between 200 and 300 people in Burbank, the city where I live and work, their jobs when production of his show was shut down for the season. The rich irony of his putting out this job notice shouldn’t be lost on anyone.
