Nighthawk

They're looking for a DANCER?!? Did I miss something here?

That's a fake job ad, or at least it has a strange bit of information on it. The location for the job is "US-ME-Southern/Portland." Now, nothing about Dharma says that they need to be hiring in Portland, Oregon, but that they're hiring in Portland, Maine just seems like a screw up.

Actually, the ad was posted for three locations -- New York City, Portland OR, and Portland ME. And they all were posted something like 21-22 days ago, well before the season finale.

(Not saying that means they were "legit", I'm just fleshing out other bits of data.)

yeah I heard they were up on May 18th, or at least that's when they were found.

There were other locations, too. Hm. Does anyone know where we can view all the ads?

(I didn't see anything at Lostpedia...)

Edit: Doh! didn't check the forums....

that's the only ad I have a sc for. I heard there were others but I never saw them. as to whether they are real or not, I was told that to place a job ad on Monster was costly so people think the ad's are real or part of a upcoming ARG.

Here it is listed, although it has been amended so that you can no longer apply.

http://jobview.monster.com/GetJob.aspx?JobID=71965662

***Edit, some times it comes up without the "apply now" button, and sometimes it gives you the option. It does not really matter though because if you click apply, it then says "We're sorry. This job has been removed from the site and is no longer available for viewing."

And the following is a very brief discussion on lostpedia forum.

FWIW, the text in that ad is really curious. It's either just poorly written, which would simply be further evidence of the ad's OOG status, or, if it's IG, I really think it must be code.

Why the different font for "transportation included"? Why the horribly messy writing ("Qualified candidates: MUST relocate to a beautiful tropical paradise, education credit..."; "...then you could assume that one side shows yourself the other is blank"), why the whole nonsense riddle? It's either very amateurish, or it's more than it appears to be.

That said, I can't figure out what it might mean, so I'm leaning toward amateurish and OOG.
