I'm looking for jobs. What do you guys do with this sort of thing?
(I made that up.)
Pretty much all job announcements read something like this, which is basically everything I am NOT looking for in a job. On the one hand, it's a lot of nonsense, and can't be taken TOO seriously. On the other hand, I find that all this interaction, multi-tasking, and extra hours are a reality in the job market. They want a pep squad, not employees.
Job Announcement:
FAST-PACED ENVIRONMENT. We are looking for cheerful, energetic, fun, interactive, super-special team players that are full of life, with an intense passion for customer service, and who love to connect with others. Sucessful candidates will be ready for any challenge, thrive on a FAST-PACED ENVIRONMENT, love multi-tasking, and be willing to go the extra mile to make people smile. FAST-PACED ENVIRONMENT. We need people who will work for nothing, to show up at any time of day, any day of the week, any day of the year, and at any location - with no advanced notice. Unlimited overtime is expected of ALL employees. Happy, Happy, Happy. Driver's license required. Minimum of 20 years experience in the exact position applied for required, degree and/or certification preferred (i.e. Dishwasher's Apprentice). Younger candidate preferred.
