Looking through the job adverts on Indeed.ie & I came across this one.

This goes under the guise of 'General Operative'

Farm experience and knowledge about agriculture machinery
Car Mechanic background or keen interest in how to repair any type of
machinery.

What they're looking for is a bloody mechanic but won't pay the rate!

You won't get this job with that zero positive attitude.

No they are probably farmer/contractors and alot of farmers do there own repairs so yeah would would want to have an interest-experience in such things. obviously it's not for you. but I know 1 guy who is not a mechanic but loves that type of work and if that job was local would love to get it.

No you are wrong as said above, you looked for a negative and found it without knowing anything about the subject matter, no point in taking on someone to do a job in the machinery business if they have no mechanical ability, , it's information to potential job applicants that is being offered.
You on the other hand were looking for something to bitch about.

THERE’S some good news on the jobs front in Waterford city today as a local Texaco filling station is to extend its deli counter creating up to one new part-time position.

Owner David Chow said the new position is a testament to the hard work, commitment and innovation of existing staff at the Cork Road service station.

The job, the first in the city for five years, will be advertised on all local media platforms around the county and is expected to draw in thousands of desperate CVs.

Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton, who visited the business earlier claimed it was one of the top success stories in the south east region since the start of the recession.

“This is a very welcome development, and not just for the successful candidate, but for the morale of the whole city and county,” he told a large queue of applicants outside the petrol station. “Times have been tough in Waterford, but now I hope people will realise that there is light at the end of the tunnel.”

The position will be for a multilingual graduate with fluent Mandarin Chinese and intermediate English who will also have the task of working on the forecourt as a “fuel injection technician”.

It is the second major jobs boost for Waterford in 6 years after a Tesco branch announced another part-time position at its busy trolley collection department in 2009.

Mr. Bruton added that this new position showed the country was moving fast up the road of economic recovery.
