Well, this sounds like an interesting job for my skillset...

...except it's for Britney Spears' team, and these ppl clearly have no idea what 'digital media' even means.  Lord, I don't even know how to react to people who talk like this (e.g., "leveraged by a branded social network.")

IF, for some reason, this sounds appealing to you, let me know and I can try forwarding on your resume.

hehe, reading the job description reminded me of the episode of the simpsons where a committee decided that itchy and scratchy needed a sidekick, poochie. As soon as I read "Hey H-bomb britney fans", I got the image of a simpsons character typing the job description.

You'll need a catchphrase for this job!

Haha now the job is all over techcrunch =P
An emerging niche: social media managment.
It would be quite nice if they could know how to write Photoshop (not "photo-shop").
@Christa StJean

I think this situation has the potential of having both a candidate that doesn't know what they are talking about and an employer who doesn't know what they need

ROFLOL

Darn, if only I were a social media addict! Oh, wait, I'm here at Posterous. Maybe that will good on the resume for this job?
