I've been tracking[1] the use of "passionate" in whoishiring threads, really getting out of control. It's now become one of the 10 most frequent terms used in posts.

- disputin 12y agoA pet hate of mine. Used by politicians, CEOs, recruiters. Good spot.
- littlestitious 12y agothanks for the link!
- mountaineer 12y agoYou're welcome.
- toolz 12y agoEverything is on the rise that you're tracking. Which would make me believe there are just more job postings and for all I know the term passionate may actually be on a decline in how often it's use vs how many job listings are made.
- mountaineer 12y agoYou're right, the chart needs some work. The rankings table below show the relative rise better than the chart.

- mountaineer 12y agoGood catch, I forgot I had them broken out, makes it even more common perhaps, but there could be overlap with posts using both terms.
