We鈥檝e got a great example of 鈥渒now your audience鈥� in the world of Twitter and job postings, and it鈥檚 coming from an unlikely source: the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS).
CSIS is promoting an upcoming 麻豆传媒映画job fair, and their Tweet about the event is an amusing meld of literary device and鈥ushi.

A career at CSIS is like a jumbo eel sushi roll; taste unknown from the naked eye but pleasantly delicious once indulged.

鈥淎 career at CSIS is like a jumbo eel sushi roll; taste unknown from the naked eye but pleasantly delicious once indulged,鈥� reads the text. Naturally, there鈥檚 a photo of a delicious assortment of sushi, to illustrate.
Unfortunately, what鈥檚 pictured aren鈥檛 rolls (maki), but rather nigiri sushi 鈥� a fact that didn鈥檛 get past a few of the detectives doing a little surveillance on social media.
What seems to have struck a chord (besides the pre-lunch hunger pangs of sushi-loving Twitterers) is the romantic language of the metaphor.
鈥淚 didn鈥檛 realize Canada鈥檚 spies are such poets!鈥� reads one reply. 鈥淓ver think about writing romance novels? ;)鈥� jokes another.
For anyone truly interested in a career with CSIS, . It definitely doesn鈥檛 seem like there鈥檚 an opening in the social media department, though. For anyone truly interested in sushi, well鈥ou鈥檙e pretty here in Vancouver!
