How Not to Write a Job Ad for Advertising Specialties Sales People



I continually scratch my head at the the type of people who write job ads like the one I just came across on Craig's List. I understand this employer wants a keen sales rep to bring in sales. Yes, sales people need to bring in business at the end of the day .... how they achieve this goal is the subject of another discussion.
