The horrid quality of the ad copy speaks for itself due to inconsistent punctuation and inexcusable spelling errors. How does someone working in the Kalahari Resort misspell “Kalahari?” "Orientated" isn't a word; the proper spelling is "oriented."

The job poster is unconcerned about how well you can write a resume or cover letter because all you need to do is apply in person. Given the (lack of) care and professionalism in the job posting, I suppose showing up in a suit and tie would be overkill. You wouldn’t want to get taffy on your tie or skirt, now would you?
