Oh dear. Ran really does need a vacation.

M Ran is a surprise.
Also, she do need a break.

So... if that kind of advert is full of red flags, then what should a company that genuinely wants to cultivate new talent from scratch off the street in hopes of getting a lifelong hire put on their fliers?

I mean, that's what 1st gen SMEs whose owner is looking to retire often set out to do.

Rinnosuke's flyer looks more like something out of a cult than a proper job advertisement: no info at all on the actual job or the company, extremely vague skill requirements, and terms like "new home" or "place to grow" are textbook red flags of a scummy place looking to ruthlessly exploit naive newcomers who don't know any better. It's a well-known fact that businesses comparing themselves to a home or a family or anything like this are to be avoided like the plague.

I've known my fair share of scummy or just incompetent small business owners who were awful to work under, including one who accused me of a crime just to avoid getting in trouble for his own fuck-ups (it didn't work out for him, his accusations were quite easy to disprove).

No experience required -> Anyone who's worked anywhere halfway decent would leave after the first day
We only want the best -> We'll fire you for any reason, any reason at all
A place to grow -> Training? Hah.
Hard Workers highly valued -> Expect to be micromanaged to death
A new home for you -> Hope you brought a pillow, because you'll be sleeping at your desk after overtime's done
Probationary period -> Hope you're not expecting to be, y'know, paid.

The hard workers valued probably means mandatory long hours and overtime

A full description of responsibilities, the hours you’ll be expected to work, and the actual starting pay. That last part is more important than most employers these days want to think, since people don’t want to waste their time preparing then going to an interview just to find out it’s not a liveable wage. In fact, states are starting to pass laws making it REQUIRED to be put on the job listing for this very reason
