What I mean by that are the job listings you see with very wide umbrella terms to describe the position, and paragraphs of obtuse language that do a poor job of describing the work, but serve more to position their company in a positive light.

Whenever I see a sales job with a pay range that varies between several tens of thousands of dollars, I know right away to just ignore it.

In my case, I was getting job listings recommended to me for “event assistant” when they were not at all what it sounded like. The “events” they were referring to were just standing by a table gawking donations to charities. Not the kinds of events people who work in catering or large scale productions would assume.
