I know HR can't say "don't apply if..." but if there is a vacancy here at the Regional Support Centre we would suggest that if you suffer from any of the following, this isn't the place for you (Please note: - this is not a serious article!)

  • Ablutophobia - Fear of washing or bathing (for our benefit)
  • Bibliophobia - An abnormal fear of books
  • Cyberphobia - Irrational fear of computers or technology
  • Decidophobia - Fear of making decisions
  • Epistemophobia - Fear of knowledge
  • Friggaphobia - Fear of Fridays
  • Glossophobia Fear of speaking in public or of trying to speak
  • Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia - Fear of long words (sorry to all who suffer from this!)
  • Ideophobia - Fear of ideas
  • Kathisophobia - Fear of sitting down
  • Logophobia - Fear of words (Question: if you suffer from this why are you looking at an eMagazine?)
  • Metathesiophobia - Fear of changes
  • Neophobia - Fear of anything new
