What Job Adverts Really Mean :-)

Advertisements tend to make jobs appear more attractive that what they are in reality. Here is a list of what could be the hidden messages posted just for laughs so please do not take this seriously. Take care, smile a lot and have a nice day!

"Competitive Salary" means we remain competitive by paying you less than our competition.

"Join our fast-paced company" i.e. We have no time to train you.

"Casual work atmosphere" also means we don't pay enough to expect that you will dress up; a couple of the real daring guys wear earrings.

"Some overtime required" means some every night and some every weekend.

"Duties will vary" i.e. to say anyone in the office can boss you around.

"Must have an eye for detail" could be saying we have no quality assurance.

"Career-minded" could be a sexiest slant meaning female applicants must be childless (and remain that way).

"Apply in person" could mean that if you're old, fat or ugly you'll be told that the position has been filled.

"Seeking candidates with a wide variety of experience" means you'll need in to replace the three people who just quit.

"Problem-solving skills a must" could hint that you're walking into perpetual chaos.

"Requires team leadership skills" that is to say you'll have the responsibilities of a manager, without the pay or respect.

"Good communication skills" could means that when the management communicates, you listen, figure out what they want and do it.


Cheers everyone!
