Is this relevant at all?

I googled it.

The word is actually 'programs'. You are reading an agency posting for a job at a company called AMS, based in Calgary.

The agency wanted to conceal the company name, and did a search and replace, changing 'AMS' to 'CLIENT'. The next step was to read through the end result for glaring errors, but hey, who needs to do that?

Of course, it may turn out to be the best mistake the agency ever made. After all, half the applicants will claim ten years' experience of progrCLIENT, and those resumes can be safely binned.

Do I win a prize for figuring that out?

Wow ... I'm impressed! Have you thought about detective work! Thanks so much. If we don't get OH a job before we go, then I may end up having to work or something equally terrible!!! Will work on the CV now. Thanks again.

I'm impressed too. I don't think you get a prize but stand-by for congratulatory karma.

You might as well try and apply direct to AMS, rather than through the agency

I was thinking about that, not sure if it would upset the company if they want the cv's etc to go through an agency? Might try it anyway, or maybe apply to both!!!
