        \_ Have you no honor?  Stop discussing this.
           It's like lying on your resume.  This is
           what makes hiring hard cause you can't
           tell the posers from the hackers.

              that suggests it's a cryptogram.
              But without word boundaries, that makes it tres dificil.  The
              BUXGIBUGI should be a good hint, but I haven't been able to
              make much headway.  --scotsman
           \_ The string is the same length as:
              YOUTUBE BROADCAST YOURSELF
              YOUTUBETMBROADCASTYOURSELF
              But the letter count from neither string matches the
              encoded string. -peterl
              \_ Maybe a Vigenere cipher with one of the above as key?  But
                 that just seems way too complicated.  I wonder if there
                 are any other clues in the job ad?  The ZZs also could be
                 something.  I also tried fiddling with the ascii values as
                 aspo suggested but no dice.  -John
           \_ In theory it could mean anything. It could mean "FOOD".
              ORUGKIDBN = "F", ZZ = "OO", XOZLSEBUXGIBUGI = "D". I win!
              Hasn't somebody written some kind of decoding program yet?
              Something that would run a bunch of decode possibilities and
              compare results against a dictionary and spit out a sorted list
              of possibilities? Brute force ftw!
                 \_ Yeah, maybe it's a Vigenere cipher.  The job ad mentions
                    TLA's (three letter acronyms), so maybe that's a clue.
                    \_ 26 letters is really small for a crackable Vigenere.
                       Assume a 5-letter key ... that's only 5.2 letters per
                       key-letter to try to break it ... that'd be real tough.
                       It's not Playfair; having 26 letters argues against
                       any sort of 3-letter code.
                       \_ You couldn't use a Kasiski crack on it because it's
                          too short, but that's why I was trying to look for
                          clues in the job posting itself to supply the key.
                          They wouldn't just post a cipher without some
                          bearing on the posting, subject, company, job,
                          what have you.  And the TLAs are a good idea, I
                          tried various ones.  Other possibilities are a
                          straightforward jumble.  -John

                                is a red herring.
