This member is the original thread starter. What does one actually do in a trading desk analyst position?

What would a trading desk analysts do at a fuel wholesale company? Here is the job description:

"This person will assist the Financial Traders in entering daily futures into the trade system, verify and check daily futures trades, run ad hoc reports from trading system into Excel, verifiy daily P & L and position changes, corroborate all numbers with accounting department and maintain all related spreadsheets.

Our ideal candidates will have the following experience:

Strong experience with Excel including generating charts and tables

Access and overall Windows operating systems

Strong Organizational skills with filing systems both hard copy and with Document Imaging

Problem solving skills

Stable work history

Strong work ethic

Ability to communicate effectively over the phone
"

I think the description pretty much sums it up. Any input?
I don't qualify for the job so I'm thinking of not even wasting my time and energy.
