Brant Publications seeks mailroom clerks who will work for free

THIS IS FUCKING RIDICULOUS.

This was posted on CareerNet, a service accessible to college students through their universities. 

Highlights:

1. ACADEMIC CREDIT???
2. Your schedule better be flexible.
3. ANY COMPANY.
4. How random their requirements are. (What makes a liberal arts background more suitable for mailroom work?).

But when you can't afford to pay your mailroom staff, how would you find time to translate the fact that there are no requirements into an attractive line of bait for unpaid labor?
