Send a message back asking if they are prepared to take calls about the post.http://www.englishforums.com/English/ItIsNotAJobAd/gkgql/post.htmWed, 08 Apr 2009 13:25:03 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:552273Seraphin1http://www.englishforums.com/English/ItIsNotAJobAd/gkgql/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-552273.xmlA job ad (or so I think) was sent through a university listserv to members of the university. It's a position in a law firm. I responded to it by calling them, below is the rough recap of the conversation. "Is this ***, I saw the job ad for the position of a scientific analyst in the firm. I wonder ..." (I got cut off) "Oh, we don't do ads. We put the postings through the school" .. I am curious if there is ANY difference between "ad" and "the posting" ? Or is the HR just trying to throw me off ??
