what recruitment ads really mean
- Competitive Salary: We remain competitive by paying less than our competitors
- Some Overtime Required: Some time each night and some time each weekend
- Self-Motivated: Management won't answer questions
- Casual Work Atmosphere: We don't pay enough to expect that you'll dress up
- Competitive Environment: We have a lot of turnover
- Some Public Relations Required: If we're in trouble, you'll go on TV and get us out of it
- Duties Will Vary: Anyone in the office can boss you around
- Career-Minded: We expect that you will want to flip hamburgers until you are 70
- Candidates With Wide Variety of Experience: You need to replace three people who just left
- Flexible Hours: Work 55 hours; get paid for 37.5
If you've got any good office jokes or funny stories, let us in on the joke at rotfl@worksmart.org.uk - we'll find a (very small) prize for any we use! Thanks to John O'Neill for this one!
