Some phrases are designed to lure you in, while concealing what the job is really about. Beware! A few notorious examples:
"Energetic self-starter wanted" (=You値l be working on commission)
"Good organisational skills" (=You値l be handling the filing)
"Make an investment in your future" (This is a franchise or pyramid scheme)
"Much client contact" (You値l handle the phone, or make "cold calls" on clients)"
"Opportunity of a lifetime" (Nowhere else will you find such a low salary and so much work)
"Management training position" or "Varied, interesting travel" (You値l be a salesperson with a wide territory).

Hi dips,
Really true...I did not want to debate but then I guess one should know that eveything that any advt depicts is not true...this applies not only to recruitment ads but to each and every advt that we come across.... Its a real good and polished way of hoaxing.
Thanks
