Employer Lingo 

“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 will dress up; well, a couple of the real daring guys wear earrings. 

“MUST BE DEADLINE ORIENTED”
You’ll be six months behind schedule the first day. 

“SOME OVERTIME REQUIRED”
Some time each night and some time each weekend.

“DUTIES MAY VARY”
Anyone in the office can boss you around. 

“MUST HAVE AN EYE FOR DETAIL”
We have no quality control.

“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 EXPERIENCES”
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.
