Job Descriptions

What is it with Job Descriptions ? Why are they not straight forward ? I mean, some times it feels like when you are going for a job that they think you know everything. They try to be that little bit too technical about describing the role.

I feel a little lost when I open the jobs section and I see all this fancy explanations about what they require from the applicants. I mean how hard is it to write these descriptions ?

Here is one I came across today

Person specification:-

* Degree level in Business, Arts, or Marketing
* Six months sales experience is ideal

After a period of training the successful person will:-

* Develop business through cold calling and lead generation
