Looking for jobs, I saw one that asked for this:
The right individual will bring an eye for detail and a concise, elegant approach to designing impactful presentations of strategic, design-led solutions that satisfy complex client requirements.
[expletive] you. "We need someone to create the best possible version of dumb [expletive] powerpoint slides for pain in the ass clients."

You could not possibly have explained that in a more idiotic fashion.

"We need someone to make PowerPoint slides that underperforming managers can show their bosses to avoid being laid off."

As an underperforming manager myself who likes to show dazzly slides and what not to even more incompetent managers than me to keep from being fired, I think this is probably on target.
