One of the things I have to address on my 'Evidence Form' in the job selection process is 'Deployability'.

The guidance stresses that it is not a measure of how many posts we have held, but - briefly, I have to demonstrate 'adaptability', 'initiative' and 'collaborative behaviour'. It gives a little more detail on each of these.

Below, there is a little, badly written note seemingly in pidgin English, doubtless the result of some poor editing:

"NB: Deployability is NOT measuring breath of experience throughout you a more flexible fit in the future organisation. It is about measuri Style on the above indicators" (sic)


I am assuming that it won't count if someone was assessed as, "Actually a bit crap at the job, but a really snappy dresser".

It really does look like someone tried to edit the sentence, but forgot to delete the bit that they were replacing.

Fills me with sorrow that the Muppets behind this sort of embarrassing writing aren't the ones in the firing line.

Man that is bad, even by 'normal' HR standards that is bad....

I wonder if you'd score bonuses for entering the interview with the Austin Powers theme tune playing behind you. Maybe finishing off with a short growl at the panel...
