Job Descriptions - Bullshit!

Most of  the job descriptions are cliched. Irrespective of the roles, they often run like this:

• Should be passionate about.....
• Should be able to work in a team
• strong communication skills...
• Should be able to take up challenging tasks
• Should deliver high quality output
• Should mentor the junior members of the team....
• Exhibits quick learning and proficiently absorbing new information
• Has a eye for detail and demonstrates ...
• Handles complex responsibilities and assignments.....
• Speaks and writes clearly and articulately without being overly verbose
• and all that blah

What is it about being "passionate"? I love my job, but I limit my passion to the bedroom.

Strong communication skills! How strong? I can yell! I can write a stinker. Do I qualify?

High quality output! Is printer's cartridge new?

Why can't the recruiters/ HR personnel just say that "We have so and so openings.... we look for so many years of experience. Should be experienced with so and so aspects of the role".
