Here’s something odd. Not the job, which sounds like a great one for the right person. Part of me has always thought it might be nice to work at a college. Good benefits, decent hours, fewer (you’d think) crazy people. Plus, Pratt would probably be creative, no? And maybe you could snag some free classes!
But what’s weird is how they want you to apply. If you scroll down, you find this:
Online applications will not be accepted for this position. Please submit a resume, a cover letter that includes salary history and expectations, and the names and contact information for three professional references to:
Executive Director
Office of Public Relations and Communications
Pratt Institute
200 Willoughby Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11205

This is a perfectly respectable job post, really, minus the weird “will not accept employment applications by phone” tacked on at the end.
And the website itself, while thematically perhaps not my cup of tea, seems pretty reasonable as well. Full of content that I’m sure interests its readers. Nice images. Photo galleries, even! John Wayne pics!
