Resumania is typically devoted to resume-writing tips and examples of humorous mistakes job seekers have made in their application materials. But candidates aren't the only ones who slip up. Employers also make spelling and grammatical goofs in job postings and want ads. For instance, one company recently posted an opening for an "aminisative assistant." Another organization proved it certainly was in need of proofreading assistance with its ad for a "senior copy editer."

What can you, the job seeker, learn from these mistakes? Often, nothing more than understanding that hiring managers aren't perfect, either. However, if a job ad contains numerous errors or other questionable content, the company may not be at the top of its game.

Unless you're a turnaround specialist, tread carefully.

Here are some humorous job ads:

JOB AD: "Seeking a fully charged bookkeeper."

... with Starbucks on speed dial.

JOB AD: "Art dictator."

This firm also seeks "design despots" and "advertising autocrats."

JOB AD: "We're hiring programmer analysts and mismanagers."

Candidates must have a proven record of foul-ups and failures.

JOB AD: "Customer Service Representative. Job Duties: Everything under the sun."

In other words, bring your sunscreen.

In addition, just as hiring managers are wary of job candidates who express a bad attitude in their cover letters, applicants should be cautious of employment ads that seem negative or critical. For example, would you want to work for the following boss?

JOB AD: "I'm interested in hiring semi-obnoxious, pushy sales people. My current sales staff is the laziest group of people you will ever meet. They drag themselves to work Monday through Friday to complain about the weather, the coffee or their manager. Applicants should have skin like an alligator. For an interview, call me."

See you later, alligator.
