My employment advertisement dictionary
What companies think we think they mean is not the same as what we think they think we mean. Vibrant: Everyone is a mindlessly grinning idiot and will drive you insane to keep a smile on your face. Avoid. Dynamic/Exciting/Fast-paced/Multi-tasking: You will … Continue reading
