Found in a job advertisement:
At least 6 months experience in Communication skills (Verbal and written)
At least 6 months experience in Leadership skills
I was a little puzzled by this. What did the recruiter mean by "leadership skills"? How do you get experience for such skills? Isn't the ability to communicate something one improves continually by using on any job? This job isn't an internship nor a graduate/entry level job so it is odd that the recruiter has thrown that in.
Another one read:
* PDF development
This is also another puzzling one since this position is 1) in marketing 2) not with Adobe. So what exactly are we supposed to develop, again?

My best guess since this is a marketing position:
- communications skills might in part refer to experience in copywriting, press releases, PR, media relations ie the area of marketing communications
- leadership refers to having and managing subordinates
- PDF development refers to the type of marketing collateral incumbent has to produce in the job
like i said its a guess. and we shouldnt have to guess. the recruiter wasnt doing himself/herself a favour by being so vague
