I'd take it, fake until they figured out that I wasn't doing sh*t for my ducats.

But I don't have ten years of experience with Nude Joisy politics.

Sorry, I forgot this wasn't GD.

Liberals creating jobs for other liberals using other people’s money.

This... the job posting is a joke. How much do you want to bet that the position is already filled by one of Murphy's socialist friends?

If I take the job, do I have to leave my guns in TX or will I have more rights than others?

Doesn't pay well enough

I'm surprised it doesn't list the shoe size of the preselected candidate

Thanks OP, but I couldn't afford the pay cut...

Not even on the same planet of salary that would get me to move to NJ.

I applied for the job. I also included that I am a life member of the NRA & two of my assistants would be retired LEO’s from Princetons finest.

In NJ , if you work for the State your simply more EQUAL than us.

This job is wired in. If anyone thing they are really searching for a person to do this has rocks in their head. They floated this job ad to provide cover for the person they already have lined up. And I can guarantee its a minority, woman or a woman minority.

I have applied to numerous IT jobs at Rutgers for over a decade. I have the qualifications and experience from fortune 500 companies including Bell Labs. Ask me if I ever got so much as an interview? NOPE.

You have to be a connected person or a minority to land a job there.
