What does CRT and PC stand for?

Applied to a job, and the description said,

"Experience with CRT or PC with high attention to detail."


I tried googling that phrase, and got other job requirements with similar acronyms like:

*ability to gather and organize non-complex data from multiple sources, operate personal computer and CRT
*Knowledge of personal computers or CRT



so I'm assuming PC is personal computer, but CRT?

I would hope the op would know what CRT meant if he were applying to a TV service position.

Good question. They'd have to be pretty small to fit in one.

that's why im trying to figure out WHY he applied for a job saying "must be familiar with CRT, if he doesnt even know what it stands for"

reading the OP makes me think that the job in reference is referring to something other than the type of monitors.

experience with CRT monitors would be a really, really, really strange thing to ask for on a resume.

It doesn't make sense in a working context though. You push the power button to turn it on, and if it breaks you throw it out and get something made this century. I would be puzzled also, because the standard use of the abbreviation isn't generally applicable.
