[Poll #736498]

(Yes, I know I'm possibly readigng things into this that aren't there, but it grates. I guess that just proves I'm not "bubbly".)

I will say you do occasionally bubble in a friendly cheerful manner (and not airheaded in any way), but by no stretch of the imagination do you have a "bubbly personality".

In coporation-talk, yeah, they're looking for someone without an ounce of actual grey matter in their heads. *sigh*

Oh, and I also think they're looking for a woman. Men don't get described as "bubbly".

Seriously, those sort of words are part of what my currently-abandoned PhD is/was about. If I got the research published, they could be got for gender discrimination. Hmm...

For me, it usually means someone who will cheerfully put up with the crap that the company will throw at them, without flipping out and going postal. But that might just be me...

A cheerful. airhead-y pushover who won't make waves about overtime, etc.

Yep. That's about it. I, too, despise that word "bubbly" to describe a personality. It's as if a happy or cheerful personality is not enough. Grr.

Laid back, easy, chewing bubble gum perhaps ? Bite-Me attitude ?

Just making stuff up here because I don't have a clue either.

To take the best possible view: they could have had a nasty grump at that job previously, who alienated co-workers and customers. That might make a thoughtless person add something like "bubbly" to a job description...

Cheerful, friendly, being able to talk to people, more importantly being able to entertain people while selling them things/ideas. Being able to appear energetic at any given moment even when you're not.

Brr.
