Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for April 18, 2021

The mayor’s, governor’s, or the president’s office?

Obviously overqualified for the job.

i do a lot of translation work for a blue chip firm in japan and am continually impressed with its executives’ command of useless jargon…

All that bloviation translates to I’m unique, just like everyone else.

You’ll never get anywhere without vague buzzwords.

Avoid cliches like the plague; They’re old hat; seek viable alternatives.

I’d hire her.

Let’s spitball that to determine its impact on our paradigm.

I am presently in the job market and I can’t tell you how job descriptions I have read that contained every single one of those useless phrases to describe the job qualifications.

A genius in the family?

Uh, they don’t bother with applications for CEOs.

This proves it…. Gracie’s going to rule the world… she’s going to break every glass ceiling….yay yay yay!!!

If the Current CEO sees that application, he will Shred it.

Keeping his job requires making sure that No One Smarter Than He Is ever gets a job there.

Too radical……

I’m a physician who left practice 16 years ago to go into medical communications/education. Most of my full-time work in the business was as a senior level medical director guiding writers in either accredited or promotional clinician education. I’ve been a freelance medical writer/director for 9 years, and I pretty much get offers for either full time or contract work almost daily from folks in LinkedIn. These jobs range from the most junior-level writer positions, senior level director positions like I held before, and jobs that want a MD/DO in a specialty nothing close to what I practiced. The recruiters basically see I have long-term general experience in the field and throw anything my way, usually in a buzzword laden mishmash. Overall, it makes me glad I went out on my own.

“world class” always baffled me. Where are these standards for a world-class standard in the widget industry?
