They left off "Sense of Humor"

7. Hangar ?housekeeping? : floor sweeping, scrubbing bugs off of leading edges etc

Expert in Office, AutoCAD, Building Airplanes, and bug removal. There's that humor again.

If I lived closer . . .
 
Yeah, I was thinking I have an established Van's model prototype shop here in Flagstaff. Maybe they'd like to outsource?
 
another posting needed!

...where's the posting for:

HR administrator-
- required to sift through the thousands of applications for the OTHER R&D posting!

( frankly I didn't think Van's had a specific R&D role, doesn't everyone do that?)

oh, wait...............is this a paid position? if not, just interning, then they'd only have to deal with HUNDREDS of applications!!! :)

I don't work for VANS.

I cut and pasted the job ad from Van's FaceBook Page. I don't work for Vans. Don't send me resumes or questions about the job.
