What a fucking pig! This post in response to a Guardian article on the death of the American Dream is choice.
I have had over 240 job openings in my small company for the last year. We get 50 resumes a day and have been able to hire 4 people in 12 months.
Here’s the reason are unable to fill positions.
Number 10. They are totally unqualified
Number 9. They have a substance abuse problem
Number 8. They are un educated
Number 7. Don’t have a way to get to work
Number 6. Unable to provide references
Number 5. Are over qualified. The minute a job opening comes up in their normal profession, we know they will leave.
Number 4. Show up late or no show the interview.
Number 3. They demand 100k a year salary for a $60k a year job (plus bonus)
Number 2. Can’t spell (we get so many resumes, we hit spell check and if there are more than 2 misspellings, we toss the resume. The number of people that cannot spell the position that they currently/last had is amazing).

LETS JUST TAKE A LOOK AT #5 ON THIS PIGS LIST.
Overqualified. What the FUCK. When business is good compaines will fill positions with any warm ass that shows up and justify this action with some weak reference that they have a similar background to what is needed or that we can train them on the job.
NOW THAT THERE ARE PLENTY OF VERY QUALIFIED PEOPLE it is not that they will bolt for the first better job that comes along that keeps the hiring managers from considering them ….. it is that the hiring managers and THEIR managers are uneducated and inexperienced in comparison to these new applicants and are AFRAID FOR THEIR JOBS IF THEY HIRE SOMEONE THAT COULD COMPETE WITH THEM.
FUCK YOU.
