1. Entry level position:
You'll be making minimum wage.

2. Entry level position in an up-and-coming company:
You'll be making minimum wage; we'll be bankrupt in a year.

Once it's shared between the higher-ups, there won't be a profit.

We remain competitive by paying less than our competitors.

5. Join our fast-paced company:
We have no time to train you; you'll have to introduce yourself to your coworkers.

6. Nationally recognized leader:
Inc. Magazine wrote us up a few years ago, but we haven't done anything innovative since.

7. Immediate opening:
The person who used to have this job gave notice a month ago. We're just now running the ad.

We don't pay enough to expect that you'll dress up, although a couple of the real daring guys wear earrings.

9. Competitive environment:
We have a lot of turnover.

14. College degree preferred:
Unless you wasted those four years studying something useless like Philosophy, English or Social Work.

15. Career minded:
Female Applicants must be childless (and remain that way).

16. Apply in person:
If you're old, fat or ugly you'll be told the position has been filled.

17. No phone calls please:
We've filled the job; our call for resumes is just a legal formality.

18. Problem solving skills a must:
You're walking into a company in perpetual chaos.

19. Requires team leadership skills:
You'll have the responsibilities of a manager, without the pay or respect.
