Deltak Posts Ad Looking for Product Manager: Knowledge Systesm

Technisource Posts Their Client Needs a Copywriter

And it looks like Technisource could use an editor. Here are the first two lines of the ad on Careerbuilder:

Were in search of an experienced Copywriter for a long term contract opportunity with our client in downtown Chicago who is a leader in the Retail industry.
Company is located in downtown Chicago.

Every week I find at least one error in a job posting. Several companies have posted they are searching for a "Manger" with great attention to detail. Oh, the irony.

This is really frustrating for those of us who do pay attention to detail but are not employed.

First Internet Bank of Indiana Login Fun

I have an account with the First Internet Bank of Indiana and called them some time ago to inquire about their login process. After you enter your user name and password they have three security questions you must answer before you can proceed. As soon as you enter all the answers they ask if you want to skip the process the next time you login, and I always answer YES, that my computer is private and I would like to skip the three security questions the next time I visit. I always end up having to do it anyway. When I called to inquire about this their customer service rep suggested that to make things easy on myself I should answer each of the three questions with a short word like 'red'. Seriously, this was his response to my complaint.

In addition, when you make a payment you get this message:

On-Demand ACH Deposits (Credits) Confirmation

Thank you. Your On-Demand ACH Deposits (Credits) will be processed.

There's no payment date and no payment amount indicated. For a system that requires so much information each time I log in you'd think they'd do a little work and provide some information about the payment that was just made.

Their system could use some help.

Citicards Last Login Data

I just logged into my Citicard account to make a payment and noticed at the top of the screen that it stated I was last logged in on Sunday, January 29th at 5am est. I know I wasn't online at that time. Wondering if my account had been hacked, I called their customer service number. Customer service had no idea so they transferred me to someone in technical support. She had no idea either so she put me on hold. After a few moments she returned to tell me that the date and time indicated as my last login was when their system was updated. I asked why their system update would be reflected as a log in for me. She said she didn't know but added, "we do have to update our system."

I always looked at the log in data as a measure of security but based on what I was told this isn't the case, at least not at Citicard.

So what's the point of even having it?????

The Daily Herald in Need of Editors

Apparently the Daily Herald is still in need of Editors. Here's the latest mistake from the online edition dated January 29, 2012.

Research housing, rules before moving with you pet

Moving has become a more common occurrence in our lives these days. Like many families today, whether downsizing....


This isn't the first error found in the online edition of the Daily Herald. Mistakes can be found regularly. In the past, readers posted about errors in the comments section of the article where the typo occurred and the Daily Herald would make the correction. They have a new policy, however, requiring a paid subscription in order to read and comment, so there will be fewer people pointing out their mistakes. In other words, look for more to come.

You'd think with the free editing services they were getting, the Daily Herald wouldn't charge their readers for the online edition, but no.

Any unemployed Editors out there? Send your resume to the Daily Herald. They obviously need you.
