Job market blues unless you walk on water

I found the announcements cited below and thought, "should I laugh or cry?"
Before you read, I want to say that we need to start a dialogue about how
to get ourselves some more POWER in the job market. Otherwise, we're sunk.
Dept's will demand any ol' ridiculous thing. Suggestions? Should we start
a union-type organization? Should we petition AAA to do something about
these unrealistic job announcements? Or should we let ourselves be
"piecemealed out and generalized about" in the job market?
