OK, Job Postings!🎙

Roses Are Red
Violets Are Blue
Boy, Do We Have
A Story for YOU!

Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s a first for “HR Besties” - a listener-submitted story to kick off this week’s staff meeting. Dear Listener, we are so sorry you had to experience that… but thank you so very much for sharing it with us, so we can share it with the entire company - er, audience.

Once we get past perhaps the cringiest cringy corporate speak ever, we get into job postings. Why they’re often so awful… BUT (Jamie’s boys just laughed) how to make them better, including an exercise to use in your next leadership team meeting.

In this week’s episode:

• Icebreaker: Why our listener’s story led us to wonder “just how hard are dentures?” (Also, let us know if you’ve ever had to smell an employee’s breath).

• Cringy Corporate Speak: It’s really bad (and the backstory behind it)

• Job Postings: What words are OUT in job postings, and what to put IN them instead (and please reply if you actually read job postings - Ashley needs a boost).

• As always, some Questions & Comments to end the meeting (Including the most bizarre questions on job applications).
