If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Um.. No. If the company doesn't value my time by posting a correct job listing, I don't want to work for them. These are the same HR people posting the jobs who will then have trouble maintaining a good work environment, or making sure people aren't abused/harassed in the workplace. These people will have access to your data and you'll be trusting them to not make paper airplanes out of your SSN. And if it's not HR creating the job postings, it's some low/mid-level manager you might have to work for some day. Do you really want Mr "better make sure the new waiter knows how to install HVACs" handling your workload and giving you tasks?
When a company tells you its HR department is full of idiots I think you wanna listen to them.
I've never seen a posting that far off. I mean if you're applying for waiter jobs and they list a bunch of HVAC qualifications, that sounds more like a mistake where they gave the wrong position title or selected the wrong job description. Which would be an honest mistake. These HR people are human just like you and I. Mistakes will happen.
