Wanted: Secretary/Driver Who Looks Like Character from ‘The Force Unleashed’

Some requirements are a little more stringent than others—I once saw a job posting in New York City that required fluency in Flemish—but none are as exact as the one that was posted to Australian job-hunting site, Seek.

When it comes to moral decision-making, how you play your game is how you live your life--and you're playing morally.
