Anyone else noticed an increase in the use of the following words in job ads?

This morning's search includes requirements for the applicant to be:


  • charismatic


  • proactive and charismatic


  • have energy and passion


  • dynamic


  • proactively smiling (!)


These are of course all for min.wage, part time or temp jobs.

Maybe we need a dictionary of all these wording of job adverts and what they actually mean?  Basketball  

For me I always find the “Can do attitude” a strange one. As I was told by one employer I needed to ‘change my attitude’ once at work…. scratch

That's code word for "This job is shit".

Another bugbear:-

* "What is unique about you?" (either an interview question or a space on the form for it).

This one is often found in connection with jobs requiring 'conformity' and 'protocol following', rather than 'uniqueness'  Rolling Eyes
