Hiring Practices 101: How NOT to Hire Someone in HISD [Unethical]

It appears that someone supposedly within HISD doesn't understand the meaning of "ethical". This ad is constantly posted and removed from CraigsList. Thankfully, Google Reader was able to pick up on it before it was removed again.

Tech chicks! (houston)

Hey Guys, 

I'm looking for a cute tech girl to work in my department with HISD. Two people just left this week and I need help maintaining everything at this school. Must be in college or taking classes, and needs to know computers well enough to troubleshoot basic problems with outlook, excel, etc. Email me a copy of your resume and a pic too! lol this is a real ad! School is located inside the southwest part of the loop in houston! 

thanks!
