What a goldmine of information. I have so much to say but can't do it right now. In the meantime, get yourself a Glassdoor account and read this ad over. Simply magnificent.

The biggest thing that jumped out at me is that the position reports to VP Operation of Picscout. I guess they will start getting the mud credit for doing the Getty dirty work. Or perhaps this position is for the smaller Picscout clients.
Many elements of this ad substantiates what I have suspected and been saying for years and I will be detailing what I was right about.

Regarding this job description, the tremendous number of grammatical and syntax errors struck me in the face.
Indeed, this description was so close to illiterate that I'm wondering if Getty Images might have farmed the work out to a certain Seattle intellectual property law firm, a firm known for mailing settlement demand form letters with a similar plethora of spelling and grammatical errors, the sort of mistakes one typically finds in third grade history reports?
With that said, it does sound like a thrilling job... especially for those with no moral compass or innate sense of right and wrong. Did anyone else get the sense that this job pays on a commission basis, perhaps in addition to a minimum hourly wage?
Oh, I need to print this job description and study it in more detail. It's obvious Getty could use the help of a serious writer, someone who actually knows the difference between "youre" and "you're".
