Corporate Lingo..Cool

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


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 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).


APPLY IN PERSON: If you're old, fat or ugly you'll be told the position has been filled.


NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE: We have 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 PROJECT LEADERSHIP SKILLS: You'll have the responsibilities of a manager, without the pay or respect.
