The second sentence of the article's first paragraph features an obvious error. It should be either
should a job seeker lower or
should job seekers lower. If the latter then
expectation needs an S at the end. It's a sign both of poor proofreading and of what's to come for the rest of "Managing salary expectations" in
24 hours Vancouver on January 31, 2011. Next up,
is a baffling use of
an where
a is required. Does
decision begin with a vowel sound? Not even close. Next up,
more nonsense. Seriously, that sentence makes no sense whatsoever. The easiest fix is to get rid of the opening
In. Finally,
unless I'm behind on the times and
on a date certain is a new and accepted phrase, then
date and
certain need to be swapped. Click an image to enlarge it.

much like the article's first paragraph, there is one a too many here. And really - a car chased two men?! I wonder if there was anyone inside the car at the time. Regardless, that car should be put down. The article ("Mazatlan murders rattle B.C. tourists" on CBC News online on February 28, 2011) had one more surprise in store:
I'd say a couple of words need to be swapped and a hyphen inserted to give us, Wulff said the hotel was located in the so-called "Golden Zone". But I'm not a professional CBC writer, so what do I know? Click an image to enlarge it.
