[ale] [ALE-jobs] Ericsson job posting

[Richard Bronosky]

Yes, the way to insure you don't get quality applicants (unless they
are desparate) for a Linux job is to post your job description as a
word doc, or request a resume as a word doc. The way to get great
quality candidates to apply, even if they already have a good job, is
to say something like this:
I have attached a plain text document XOR'ed against a 3 character
passphrase. In it you may find instructions on how to apply for this
position. Apply if you are capable.

I have applied for a few of those even when I didn't need the job.
