Does this job posting sound "picky" to you?

"Well established office seeking an associate to join our team. We are searching for a self-motivated, friendly individual with strong work ethic and exceptional skills.

This position is best suited for someone with 2+ years of experience that is used to a busy, productive schedule. The successful candidate will be supported by an experienced and highly motivated team. "


"Self-motivated" pretty much means no training and that you're on your own. "Exceptional skills" means they don't want average but a perfect person. Also, the fact they're looking for someone with 2+ years experience. Would you apply for a job like this? I'm not perfect at all and consider myself just "average".

I've noticed this job posting has been up for 2 years and they still can't find anyone. It's for one position in a small office of 10. They repeat the job posting every 6-8 months. That is a huge red flag IMO. That means they're either 1) hiring and firing people because they're picky or 2) people are quitting due to toxic work atmosphere. Either way, not a good sign.
