Continuing the 'job specs that leave a lot to be desired ...

I won't name the company, but these are some of the bullets in the LinkedIN job description ... (my brackets)

  • Highly developed problem solving and rectification skills (compared to?)
  • Familiarity with project management approaches, tools and phases of the project lifecycle (sure - I'm 'familiar' with a lot of things.)
  • Experience in coaching and partnering with client stakeholders through change. (how much experience exactly? scroll down to see the pay level)
  • An appreciation of data, systems and technologies used to drive strategic workforce decision making ( I appreciate a lot of things - adding 'data'. 'systems' and 'technologies' to my list.)
  • Ability to explain ideas and concepts clearly to ensure a broad audience can understand. (what is the level of understanding in that audience?)
  • A creative and innovative outlook, with ability to produce new ideas and concepts. (gotcha - I can do that.)

Pay?

NZD 67,000

To save you calculating - this is equivalent to £34,000 or $US38,000

They don’t want much do they?
