Filed Under Advertising Mistakes, Happy Friday |

Many times we are required to add HR lingo to our ad copy.  Enjoy some translations: 

“GOOD COMMUNICATION SKILLS”
Management communicates, you listen, figure out what they want and do it.

“PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS A MUST”
You’re walking into a company in perpetual chaos.

“COMPETITIVE SALARY”
We remain competitive by paying less than our competitors.

“SEEKING CANDIDATES WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF EXPERIENCE”
You’ll need it to replace three people who just left.

“REQUIRES TEAM LEADERSHIP SKILLS”
You’ll have the responsibilities of a manager, without the pay or respect.

“JOIN OUR FAST-PACED COMPANY”
We have no time to train you.

“CASUAL WORK ATMOSPHERE”
We don’t pay enough to expect that you’ll dress up.

“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.

Happy Friday!!  Enjoy the weekend.
