QUIZ! Which One Is The CBC Job Listing?

Here’s a fun little game to brighten your Monday (it’s dreary and drizzly here in Vancouver, so we’ll take all the light we can get).

Here are two job listings for sports positions. One is from the CBC. The other is from the Score Media channel. Can you figure out which is which? ;-)

LISTING #1

  • Minimum 3-5 years on-air experience in broadcast journalism
  • Superior writing, vetting and editing skills
  • Able and willing to effectively engage in lively ad lib conversation with program hosts
  • Experience with radio studio operation
  • Flexibility to work overnight and / or evening shifts from time to time
  • Interest and knowledge of a broad range of news and current affairs issues including sports, business, and arts
  • Skilled in digital audio editing
  • University degree or equivalent

LISTING #2

  • Know your s**t
  • Know how to put a story together
  • Have energy that works on camera
  • Don’t take yourself too seriously
  • Hustle
  • Are fearless (obviously no one is, but some balls would be nice)
  • Can shoot (with a camera, of course)
  • Are not conditioned to speak in an unnatural way
  • Clichés anger you
  • Want to be part of something revolutionary

Please, no wagering.

    Sounds like a trick to me.  The first is the online posting.  The second is what the manager is really looking for.

    I will also have to choose number one, because CBC is renowned for its eloquence, style and objectivity which is presented in the wording for job description number one.
