Will and Guy's Top Ten Funny Language "HR Speak"
- "Competitive salary" = We remain competitive by
paying less than our competitors.
- "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.
- "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.
- "Seeking candidates with a wide variety of experience"
= You will, in fact, be replacing three people who have just left.
- "Problem solving skills a must" = You're walking
into a company which is in perpetual chaos.
- "Requires team leadership skills" = You'll have the
responsibilities of a manager, without the pay nor the respect.
- "Good communication skills" = Management
communicates, you listen, figure out what they want and do it.
