the comical ups and downs of the job hunt

Today I continued on my hunting for a summer job.  One such adventure was the perusing through a website which is a place that posts temporary jobs.  I came upon a rather interestingly vague job description:

"If you are a hard worker who is never late then this is the opportunity for you! In this position you will be required to follow work instructions to ensure the timely processing and assembly/packaging of molded products while maximizing quality and achieving production rates. Here you will perform repetitive tasks requiring manual dexterity and mechanical aptitude."

Sounds awesome, right?  "timely processing and assembly/packaging of molded products while maximizing quality and achieving production rates"! Use of mechanical aptitude! All while following work instructions!  Anyone care to venture a guess at the job that is actually being described here in all its glorious ambiguousness? If you read past the inflated adjectives the job being advertised looks like an assembly line worker.  Now really, I understand putting jobs in as positive light as possible, but come on people, aren't we trying just a little too hard here?
