In-house construction attorney job in NYC

A reader forwarded us the job ad below, noting: "Further proof that it's not worth the effort applying to every job posting because being unemployed is better than wasting time applying to the bogus, nonsensical crap out there. Count the logical inconsistencies (e.g., an attorney 'fresh out of college who specializes in the construction trade'), grammatical errors, and other items in this ad. WARNING: This is only fun if done while drinking the ever-affordable Mad Dog 20/20."

Looking for a comercial attorney (fresh out of college) who specializes in the construction trade. Attorney who can start standard legal procedures and follow through.
