Have you ever read job descriptions and gone like "whoaa!! Man!! What do they mean by this?"
For example, you sure well know what a company means when they want you to be "hardworking". It means that "we will work you to the bone".
Here is my Devil's Dictionary for job descriptions and probably terms that you should be wary of.
1) Freshers welcome- "Be thankful that you get a job and don't expect to get paid"
2) Willing to work in shifts- "Graveyard shift for you"
3) Able to handle additional responsibilities- "Can you work two jobs instead of one?"
4) Pleasing personality- "Can you kiss ass?"
5) Good communication skills- "Are you a yes guy/gal?"
6) Exciting opportunity- "Noone else wants it. That's why we advertised."
7) Attractive incentives- "And yes, we provide toilets at the office"
