Job descriptions are always specific enough that you know what you're applying for, but vague enough that you don't know what you'll be doing.

The Art Outsource Supervisor part got me reading this.
Good initiative though.

They could sometimes use one.. researching certain decisions impact on the users, by taking a more physiological approach as to how the human mind works.

Anyway it does sound positive, while I was sadly disappointed when checking up on them, that none of them really fit something I could see myself applying for.
