Found this job-posting on Monster.com. If anyone can explain to me what this position is about, please feel free to e-mail me....

Bowne & Co., Inc., established 1775, is the global market leader in the field of empowering information by combining superior customer service with appropriate new technologies to manage, repurpose and distribute a client's information to any audience, through any medium, in any language, anywhere in the world. We are also the world's largest financial printer.

(I'm pretty sure that when Bowne was created, way back in 1775, that's what their mission statement was- to be the global market leader in the field of empowering information....blah...blah....blah. I can see Jedidiah Bowne giving this exact speech to his investors when he started the company. Can anyone tell me what Bowne does? And I love the last line. It's kind of done like "oh yeah, we're also this.")

ACCOUNTABILITIES (isn't this the same thing as, Responsibilities?)
Sales: Aligns Customer Service output with customer needs. (what?)

Customer Service Interface:(again what? Do they mean Customer Service here?)

Job Management: Coordinates jobs internally from typesetting through EDGAR filing to manufacturing and monitors progress at each phase. (EDGAR?)

Management: Supervises and coaches customer service team. (Does this mean giving pep talks during breaks and breaking down things on chalkboards?)

MANAGERIAL
Adapts and Develops Self: The ability to handle day-to-day work challenges confidently; able to adjust to multiple and changing work demands; learn from experience....(Wow, this job sounds better than a job, it's an internal journey. It's not just a job, it's zen.)

Bowne Balanced Planning Support: The ability to support the implementation of the initiatives, programs, and measurements in the Balanced Plan. Implies capitalizing on opportunities to explain the need for the Plan and demonstrating by action support of the Plan.(Oh yeah, the famous Bowne Balanced Plann. Just a question, how do you get experience in this without actually working there. Unless of course, I missed courses in Bowne Balanced Plans while I was busy reading Camus and Chaucer in college. Stupid me)

Bowne Quality Journey Support: The ability to support Bowne’s Quality Journey and the need for continuous improvement. Implies attention to internal and external customer requirements and focuses behavior toward improvement. Not only "talks the talk" but "walks the talk."(Again, it's just not a job, it's journey. It's like when you're done with the job, you'll be a Bowne Jedi Knight or something like that.)

Problem Solving/Judgement: The ability to relate and compare data from different sources, identify and analyze problems to explore issues, secure relevant information, correctly identify relationships and make the best decision. The ability to use the Bowne Problem Solving Process. This skill implies decisiveness, a willingness to commit to action once alternative solutions have been weighted.(Bowne Problem Solving Process? Is it more of Cartesian or Socractic problem solving method?)

Results Oriented: The ability to drive for results and success; convey a sense of urgency and persist despite obstacles and opposition.(What do they mean by obstacles and opposition? Are we talking Indiana Jones type obstacles? Are they looking for someone who'll stand up against the mob or something? Is a job well done something like the last scene of "On the Waterfront"?)

You know how earlier I lost that job because I might have not had enough HR experience? Is that what they mean, that I don't have the ability to fucking write shit like this?

Anyways.....
