Hi Scott–they are real. Amazing, isn’t it? I’ve been doing this post for about six months now. If you search our archives, you can see many other jobs lists as bizarre as this one. -Drea
Tanning Consultant Needed – shouldn’t that be a dermatologist?
Some of these sound real enough. When i used to live near the army base they were always hiring actors to dress up like we were from the middle east.
