What The New Job-Lingo Really Means
CASUAL WORK ATMOSPHERE - We don't pay enough to expect that you'll dress up; well, a couple of the real daring guys wear earrings.
MUST BE DEADLINE ORIENTED - You'll be six months behind schedule on your first day.
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 applicants must be childless (and remain that way).
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 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.
BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH AMBIGUITY - Management will change their minds on a daily basis...deal with it.
