Account Manager

What an employer will post in a job description, trying to make some job look like an awesome, experience-gaining, entry-level beginning to a wonderful career in Marketing techniques, strategies, and problem-solving, and all with competitive salary. When in reality, it's being a door-to-door salesman or a telesaleman making cold calls all day with commission-based pay.

Entry-Level

A job that an employer posts for recently graduated students. A job that one supposedly can take after graduating, despite the super-low wages. And then, at the bottom of the job description: "3 TO 5 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE REQUIRED", as if they don't see the paradox in that statement.

ENTRY-LEVEL JOB OPPORTUNITY: CALLING ALL RECENT GRADS! Pay will be $7 an hour, chance of promotion after 10 years. Requirements: 3 TO 5 YEARS OF WORK EXPERIENCE IN THIS SPECIFIC FIELD. We will not consider anyone without this experience.
