Love it when a hobbyist writes a job ad

Hi all, In my world (industrial electronics) we usually break up the using and the fixing of equipment into two separate jobs. These people are trying to make what at best might be an unholy marriage of it to save a buck. Found this just now in the job ad's. ……………………………………. Operate Equipment To do their job effectively, CCTV Operators must have a thorough understanding of the equipment they’re working with. They are tasked with deleting or archiving old footage as needed, organizing old footage in an orderly fashion, and switching out videotapes, compact discs, memory cards, hard drives or servers. Maintain Equipment Simply knowing how to operate video surveillance equipment is not all there is to being a CCTV Operator.

Hi all,

In my world (industrial electronics) we usually break up the using and the fixing of equipment into two separate jobs. These people are trying to make what at best might be an unholy marriage of it to save a buck.

Found this just now in the job ad's.

Operate Equipment

To do their job effectively, CCTV Operators must have a thorough understanding of the equipment they’re working with. They are tasked with deleting or archiving old footage as needed, organizing old footage in an orderly fashion, and switching out videotapes, compact discs, memory cards, hard drives or servers.

Maintain Equipment

Simply knowing how to operate video surveillance equipment is not all there is to being a CCTV Operator. Additionally, CCTV Operators must also be able to maintain and repair that same equipment, whether it’s analog or digital.

……………………………………

The ad goes on and on about all this and the amount of detail work. I know that fixing an analog or digital camera takes some degree of talent. But doing that while trying to watch security screens? That is a super human ability.

Then the ad has this near the bottom.

………………………………….

  • Ability to Work Independently
    : For the most part, CCTV Operators will not be required to interact with very many people. Because of this, it is important that they’re able to work and stay alert without constant supervision.

What is this?

Clearly a massive editing failure.

With ad's like that it's no wonder why they can't hire people.

Being cheap ain't helping the issue either.

Be well all
