A recruitment firm recently published a list of job-ad terms and their true meaning.

Problem-solving skills required - each day will be complete mayhem.

Must be a team player - you will be required to work, socialise and play sport with colleagues.

Fast-paced company - you'll be so busy there will be no time for training.

Good sense of humour required - a hugely-stressful job and the boss is a monster.

A job with great career prospects - an excuse to pay you a pittance.
