Maybe this summer we have been too serious 861



  • Maybe this summer we have been too serious in this forum… I hope that you will like the way I understand some employers
    SOMETIMES…
    What some employers say:
    Must be deadline oriented
    What they mean by it
    You’ll be six months behind schedule on your first day
    What they say:
    Some overtime required
    What they mean by it
    Some time each night and some time each weekend
    What they say:
    Must have an eye for detail
    What they mean by it
    We have no quality control
    What they say:
    Flexible hours
    What they mean by it
    Work 60 hours; get paid for 40
    What they say:
    Requires team leadership skills
    What they mean by it
    You’ll have the responsibilities of a manager, without the pay or respect
    In this forum we love documentation so mush. Mission, vision, values… and performance evaluations:
    What they write in performance evaluations:
    Hard worker
    What they mean by it
    Usually does it the hard way
    What they write:
    Inspires the cooperation of others
    What they mean by it
    Gets everyone else to do the work
    What they write:
    Identifies major problems
    What they mean by it
    Complains a lot
    What they write:
    Accepts new job assignments willingly
    What they mean by it
    Never finishes a job
    What they write:
    Charismatic
    What they mean by it
    No interest in any opinion but his own
    What they write:
    Consults with supervisor often
    What they mean by it
    Pain in the ass
