Job Interview Pet Peeves Revealed by Omicchi
Job Hunters Aren't Always Down with "Stress-Resistance"
It seems job listings can be a major source of annoyance for job seekers, according to a study by SuperJob, a job search service.
In Omsk, residents ranked the phrase "multitasking" as the most aggravating, with 16% of respondents expressing their disdain. They found this term a potential indicator of a heavy workload. "Stress-resistance" came in a close second (11%), followed by "friendly team" (9%).
Other buzzwords that irked Omsk job seekers included "competitive salary," English loanwords (meeting, developer, deadline, coach, networking), and abbreviations (sku, cv, B2B, B2C, KPI, SEO).
Interestingly, 30% of respondents expressed their frustration with general statements like "salary to be agreed upon."
Though there's no explicit mention of a specific SuperJob survey on Omsk residents, it's worth noting that SuperJob consistently releases ratings on job market trends and employer practices[1]. It's plausible to assume that "stress-resistance" is considered annoying due to its ambiguity and the implied acceptance of poor working conditions or excessive workloads, a sentiment commonly shared by job seekers in many regions[1].
In essence, if you're job hunting in Omsk and see a listing calling for "stress-resistance," don't sweat it—maybe it's time to look elsewhere for a more balanced work environment.
I'm not sure if focusing on finance-related careers requires such a stress-resistant approach, given the potential drawbacks of an overly demanding business environment. However, career development and education-and-self-development might provide valuable resources to help navigate challenging job-search processes and build resilience in the face of various career obstacles.
