Maybe it's just my mood. it probably is. I receive a lot of email about job positions. in fact, I receive a lot of CILS, too. almost always both voicemail and the email is deleted before I even reach the end. this one struck me especially grotesque. I admit I am being especially critical. but here was my interpretation from some key phrases sent to me by the 'headhunter '.
-
- Typically works with minimum supervision,Conferring with superior on unusual matters.
- Translates to: poor management that is uninvolved and even refers to themselves as "superior"
- Ability to work in a fast-paced,High intensity, performance-driven environment.
- Translates to: We don't know how to gauge performance limit t by how tight we set deadlines that the team that have to implement those timelines had no input. top-down organization driven by people in positions via the Peter principle or worse. plus an 80's style management philosophy.
-
- Ability to provideIt and project consulting to internal and external MERs.
- Translates to: We don't really have a scope for your position-you will be expected to be everything to everyone and "superior" people aren't involved until you ass is in the fire
- High degree of complexity, high risk, significant business change, high profile or customer facing
- Translate:Yet your 'superior 'is not involved failed t in unusual matters. Seems to me that if it were so important, so high risk, such complexity the 'superior' wocould be involved.
