The Fog of Job Ads

A recruitment ad asks applicants to describe their experience in the following:

Applied knowledge of office management practices to coordinating administrative support processes for an organization.

Just think: Someone was paid to write that sentence.

It's worse than that - it was likely also reviewed and approved by the writer's "superior" prior to posting!

You're right about that. Also note that most recruiters I met within the last four months have no idea what they are talking about.
