I'll add one - I immediately ignore any job ad that contains anything along the lines of "Work in an exciting/agile fast-paced, dynamic environment", which pretty much signals that only youngsters need apply.

Of course, if the job really is chaotic and high-stress, then that signal should probably stay in the job ad.




"Work in an exciting/agile fast-paced, dynamic environment",

Or they're just randomly cut-and-pasting whatever fast-sounding lingo they've seen in other ads.

Either way, it's a negative tell.
