The fuckers want all that, in NYC, for $32K a year.

Graphic/web Design/Adminstrative

We should have a contest to see who can send the most fucked up fake resume to them.
Technically, it's not NYC as the location is Lynbrook, NY, approx. 17 miles east of Manhattan. (I can see it from my window like Sarah Palin can see Russia.) LI is notorious for underpaying workers, relative to the price of living. You could do better in other NYC outlying areas.

Plenty of suckers will make serious inquiries about the job because they won't have to commute to Manhattan.
 
I don't know about you guys but I would rather be homeless then take one of these offers.
 
Lynbrook is a shithole. But for it's proximity to the city, it's pretty cheap. Plenty of young people live in the city proper on $32k/yr though. That's peanuts for the SEO/SEM, but it's above average for many other entry-level jobs in publishing, fashion, arts, and many other highly competitive fields where even Ivy League grads will be clamoring for that 32k/yr job.

My guess is they're hoping to get a sharp outer borough or b&t kid graduating from one of the many rip-off "career institutes" or tech schools in the region.
