- kens 12y agoI did a web search on those sentences and they appear thousands of times in job descriptions, e.g. 133,000 results for the "Specific vision...focus" sentence. The "taste and smell" seems to appear mostly in food service jobs, where it makes sense. These seem to be some sort of standard conditions that many jobs cut-and-paste from somewhere. I wonder what the original source is. But they seem very out of place for an HR position.
- pmorici 12y agoThose sentences probably have to do with the Americans with Disabilities(ADA) act. They are defining so called "essential job functions". http://www.natlawreview.com/article/importance-job-descriptions http://www.natlawreview.com/article/importance-job-descripti...
- tsenkov 12y agoI guess I just haven't seen one of these (such specific or probably any Physical Requirements for a job) before and imaging all of it together, there was this comic vision, in my mind, of what will that person actually do on such a job. :) I definitely didn't want to offend anyone and I hope I didn't.
- sgustard 12y agoImmediately followed by: "All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to ... disability ..." I have concluded that much of the 500 million is going to employment lawyers.
