“In former days, we would ask for a driver’s license if travelling is needed in the job. Now, we realize that travelling can also be done by public transport or any other means. And this is why we now mention that you need to be able to travel.”
“If special skills are needed, we formerly asked for a diploma that shows you have a proof of ‘having these skills’. Nowadays, we ask for the special skills. Because you might have learned them in your former work, or anywhere else.”
“Formerly we wrote ‘you need to be enthusiastic and dynamic’. We liked the words and wanted all candidates to be this, although it wasn’t really clear why we wanted this for the job. As if somebody quiet and secure wasn’t able to carry out the work in the most effective way. We learned to delete those words and only go for the essence!”
