There aren't many specifics in the description: Often we come across job descriptions that are vague and don't have many details on them. This is a clear sign that the company doesn't know what it wants. This also means that if you do join this place they won't be able to guide you in your new role. So, make it a habit to steer clear of such job descriptions as they'll only end up wasting your time.

While not having specifics in a job description is annoying, what can be more alarming is a huge number of specific requirements that have been stated. If a company puts up multiple requirements for the same role, then beware because they probably don't know what exactly it is that the role demands. Chances are that no matter who gets the job, they'll expect too much from the person.

Run for your life we say. If a company is stating a number of specific requirements then the benefits they offer should match the requirements they need. On the contrary, if all you see in a job description are high and mighty praises of a company without any benefits, then they probably have nothing to offer in return.

This one is a trap for sure. Trust us, it might seem all fun and games and you might think that this is one of those jobs where you can just come as you please and leave as you please, but it's not going to be that simple. When they say flexibility, they might mean working weekends and after office hours. So, unless you're comfortable picking up calls at midnight, we suggest you skip this one.

If you see an offer that tells you that you could earn up to a certain amount, understand this much - they're not going to offer you that amount. They may start you on something a lot less once you decide to give the place a try. This is how a lot of companies attract people by posting huge potential salaries and then promising them that once they've spent a considerable amount of time in the company they'll reach that pay scale.
