My favorite HR wankery words are -invigorating, exciting, 'holistic approach', 'core values', spirited, embrace and in JQ's case Boston!

I imagine the job PD would also contain the following:
  • Must be able to lead a core group of flying Princesses
  • The successful candidate must own or be linked to several consultancy groups and be prepared to siphon millions for his/her own greed
  • The successful candidate will be a uni grad/MBA holder with nil life experience or operational experience and be age 25 or under

Love this line:

My bold.

Ambiguity: doubtfulness or uncertainty of meaning (from MacQuarie dictionary).

One can only imagine what this means. Why would an HR person need to 'thrive in ambiguity'?

For the same reason Government do. The more 'grey' or ambiguous the subject matter is, the less likely they can be pinned on something specific. They also like to use terminology like 'intent', again, that way they they eliminate specifics out of the equation and it is more difficult for those on 'the receiving end' to be pinned or made accountable.
HR are always a smoke and mirror outfit, whatever the organisation.

        Does that make Jetstar an employer of choice, seems to be the new buzz word amongst Gen Y.

        -An undergraduate degree in psychology or related field.

        -Inferiority complex and the desire to spotlight applicants weaknesses and ignore strengths.

        Dont forget have the right to enter NZ and obtain NZ Tax File number and set up a NZ Bank account and be willing to be paid in NZD.

        Plus have no ethics, be willing to spin whatever message is dictated and be able to alienate staff when called upon for any deemed reason.

        Upside is the bonuses will be HUGE for this short term position.

          ...........sheeeez where do I sign up, "the way of the future"

          I guess being old (as I am) means that I had the chance to experience aviation when it was fun, had a future BEFORE the boffins with 'in' words ruined a great job
          'anthill' that's a classic, thanks for adding that, some humor amongst the ugliness of aviation.

          all this from the same organisation that likes to keep regulatory, procedural and safety notices to:

          'A change on a page'......why bother with factual detail when a nice little orange template will do!

          Smile

          Feeling rather flippant today:

          1. American English spell check was used on more than one occasion;

          2. "Synergies" was not used once. Therefore, I consider the ad as bogus
