"If you were any good, someone would have snapped you up." Really? Where? Have you people noticed that there are nearly no jobs out there? That people are desperate? To the point where highly skilled tech people will work at burger-flipping or shelf-stocking just to have a job? "Oh, we'd rather hire someone who is already working than someone that is unemployed." WT Flaming F??? You'd rather create a hole in someone else's structure than give a job to someone who is desperately seeking work and would probably treat the company with fanatical loyalty out of gratitude? (OK, and because there is no where else to go).I worked 8 months in a restaurant just to have something on my resume more current than 8 years ago. If it wasn't for the rental property I manage, I'd be a useless leach on society.Rather than advertising the jobs they already plan on filling internally by promoting or transferring someone, why don't they just advertise the real job that will be opened by the person moving? That might, oh, I don't know... Make some frikkin' sense.I have a friend working in upper management at one company. Her advise was "Don't put in any qualifications more than the job you're applying for. If you do, they'll weed you out." What? The hiring staff will screen you out of consideration for having more skills than they are looking for? That makes no sense--a variety of skills in MORE useful, not less.Can someone explain any of this logic? Or rather, can someone translate these asinine policies into logic? Justify insanity?</blockquote>
