Behind the Ad

You must have seen on employer's job opening ads phrases like:

• Join our fast-paced team
• Must be deadline oriented
• Duties will vary
• Seeking candidates with a wide variety of experience
• Problem-solving skills a must
• Good communication skills
  

The hidden truths inside those criteria:

• Join our fast-paced team - we have no time to train you.
• Must be deadline oriented - the job you take on the 1st day is 6 month behind schedule.
• Duties will vary - anyone in the office can boss you around.
• Seeking candidates with a wide variety of experience - you will need to replace three people who just left.
• Problem-solving skills a must - you're walking into a company in perpetual chaos.
• Good communication skills - management communicates, you listen & figure out what they want and do it.
  

I got it from somewhere (forgot the source again) and modified it a little. I used to not bother about all those Dilbert like, work satire at all. Now I'm taking all those seriously. LOL.
