Corporate Terminology
COMPETITIVE SALARY: We remain competitive by paying less than our competitors
JOIN OUR FAST-PACED COMPANY: We have no time to train you
CASUAL WORK ATMOSPHERE: We don't pay you enough to expect that you'll dress nicely
MUST BE DEADLINE ORIENTED: You'll be six months behind schedule on your first day
MUST BE FLEXIBLE: On many occasions, you'll be asked to bend over and grab your ankles
SOME OVERTIME REQUIRED: Some time each night and some time each weekend
DUTIES WILL VARY: Anyone in the office can boss you around
MUST HAVE AN EYE FOR DETAIL: We have no quality control
CAREER-MINDED: Female employees must be childless (and remain that way)
APPLY IN PERSON: If you're old, fat or ugly you'll be told the position has been filled
NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE: We've filled the job; our call for resumes is just a legal formality
SEEKING CANDIDATES WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF EXPERIENCE: You'll need it to replace the three people who just left
PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS A MUST: You're walking into a company in perpetual chaos
REQUIRES TEAM LEADERSHIP SKILLS: You'll have the responsibilities of a manager, without the pay or respect
GOOD COMMUNICATION SKILLS: Management communicates, you listen, figure out what they want and do it
feel free to add more to the list ;-)
