They’re trying to be all happy chappy. Really cringe-worthy. I hate job ads like this, there’s one I almost always come across in our local Indeed jobs pages about a “really cool place to work” where they love socialising and taking part in activities outside work because they’re a “family”. But they’re always advertising, so must be pretty shit in RL.

Lol, I'd actively steer clear of applying for a job there, that's for sure!

As the PP said, these ads that make out they're all 'family'... Bleurrghh!

It's really hard to tell what type of experience and person they're after too! Most things are just personal traits, usually you have a much broader spec for an executive role

Just read one job spec and the covering letter was to state 'why you sparkle' ffs.

It would simple say, because I washed my DD's glittery trousers in with everything else.

At least it's written in normal language, not the faux bollocks meaningless corporate bullshit.

And it doesn't ask if you are "passionate" (pet hate)

I especially like visualise the big picture even when it's still embryonic 😂

And it doesn't ask if you are "passionate" (pet hate) id take passionate over "Have a fascination with detail?"

Let I'm passionate about having enough money to pay the mortgage!

Oh yes, I'm so passionate about diary management, answering the phone, spreadsheets and scanning. Whooppee!!!!

Dear Employer,
Do you pay an excellent wage that reflects your requirements?
Will you empower me to do my job in a professional and supportive environment?
Will you match my pension contribution?
Will you offer me growth opportunities?
Will you be flexible with my schedule when my child is unwell?
........and so forth......
