In reply to Sharp:
My pet peeve is not advertising salaries. Many these days seem to feature one of the following:
"Exceeds national minimum wage"
"Competitive salary package"
"Salary dependent on skills and experience"
To me, this wastes everyone's time.
For the applicant, might go for something thinking its 40k, only to find its 20k (has happened to me!). If you then enquire, it makes you look like you're only applying for the money (I know you might be, but not a good first impression!?)
For the employer, may up with shed loads of unsuitable applications to sort through
Anyone else feel the same?
