Okay, the Digitas job information page for this position is ridiculous. This is a prime example of what ails advertising agencies. Really… all this whoo-hoo and silly language. They’ve got five headers of qualifications.

a. Portfolio – 6 bullet points – Example: “Your portfolio contains a summary of any written feedback that you have received since your last review.”

b. Tactical – 10 bullet points – Example: “You understand paper and printing characteristics; and postal, print, letter shop regulations.”

c. Process – 2 bullet points – Example: “You are learning to provide additional value to print production and letter shop management.”

d. Relationships – 3 bullet points – Example: “You are seen as a valued member of the team; your input is highly regarded by art directors, etc.”

e. Intellectual Capital – 2 bullet points – Example: “If you have been identified as an expert in a skill that is important to the success of all at Digitas, you are actively working on intellectual capital that will allow you to pass that skill on to others.”

We’re tired already. If you still want it (hey, could be a resume builder), go apply here.
