The Sundance Human Resources Department is very entertaining. First they are the most under worked department at Sundance. There are three full time hr staff members and now they are hiring a 4th full time. The laziness in this department angers the entire Sundance staff but that’s a blog for another day. Today’s focus is on the entertaining job descriptions they make me post on the website.
Here is an example new HR Receptionist position. From http://www.sundanceresort.com/employment_hrreceptionist.htm

Listed Under PHYSICAL DEMANDS
"the employee is regularly required to sit; use hands to finger, handle, or feel; and talk or hear. The employee frequently is required to reach with hands and arms. The employee is occasionally required to walk; climb or balance; and stoop, kneel, crouch, or crawl."

I would have applied for this job but I just can’t sit nor can I reach with hands and arms. I take this to mean we don’t hire anyone with disabilities and certainly no thalidomide babies here. Or you have to walk at work? What the… I am sure Bob would love to be sued for discrimination or just get press about not hiring people with disabilities. The reason these are so funny is that they don’t write the descriptions themselves no they use a job descriptions program that rarely is customized to the positions here at Sundance. It’s a prime example of non-technical people trying to use technology improperly to do their jobs for them. So if you get bored and want some entertaining reading try http://www.sundanceresort.com/job_list.htm. I guarantee there are some quality gaffs in our job descriptions. Side note: Job Descriptions Now is a piece of doooookie don’t purchase it. Supposedly this product produces job descriptions that are ADA Compliant. I think these create discriminative descriptions.
