Job rants

So is anyone else sick of this crap you see in job posts and interviews?

1. Every post seems to have these "power" adjectives to define who they want for their position. They're always using words like "dynamic," "synergy," and "charismatic." What the heck does dynamic mean? Do they even know what they want? They've really got to stop quoting terms from 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I think Covey's book has become the business Bible from Hell. They try to quote all these fancy terms and I don't think they know what they're talking about.

2. What's with all of the umbrella companies? Why is every office of theirs composed of about 50 people all around the age of 23? They always have this policy of whoever joins the company has to start from the ground up regardless of their background. And then they mask their company's work; they call it "marketing" or "advertising," when it's all door-to-door canvassing of office supplies like Quill. They respond to your e-mails a 1000 times faster than any other company because they want to milk you. Dang multi-level marketing crap.

3. Why is they always want you to have 1-2 years experience for an entry level job? Isn't the point of an entry level job to give you 1-2 years of experience? It's like trying to apply at a college as a Freshman, and for them to list as a requirement to be a Junior. No schooling required in one phrase, but have some schooling being said in the next.

4. What's with getting a job with a temp agency that pays you 13/hour? You work for that company and they say if you weren't with the agency they'd pay you 18. They say you should have looked on Craig's List, but when you look there, no one's offering it!
