TAKE THIS JOB AND SNUB IT.

[Judy Loux]

What they say and What they mean:



"COMPETITIVE SALARY"

We remain competitive by paying less than our competitors.



"JOIN OUR FAST-PACED TEAM"

We have no time to train you.



"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.



"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.



"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.



Most of these are oh to true.
