several hundred boxes of old papers need filing
" ... multimedia skills are essential... "
we really wanted to hire a computer technician, but the board insisted on a librarian for some reason
" ... must be well organised ... "
things are so chaotic here, someone has to sort out all the mess
" ...stimulating environment ..."

" ... ability to communicate ... "
everyone is at each other's throats
" ... have appropriate qualifications ... "
that won't be considered in our decision - we just go on gut feeling here

insufficient staff - so you'll be doing the work of 3 people
