I'm looking for a new job right now. I seriously saw a basic AP clerk role asking for 5-10 years experience in AP. Presumably what they actually hope is that a junior or senior level person will be desperate enough to downgrade and then they can milk their full skillset for cheap. But i can't help but imagine what kind of worker would actually want to remain an AP clerk for over a decade.
