Why Is Hiring People So Hard???

So you throw a couple ads up on Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com and a flood of resumes start pouring in. The problem... is they all contain the same bullshit! Let me cover a snippet of what we have learned:

1. If you don't finish your college degree, but pursue a dream (and fail) it negates the requirement to have a degree.

2. Some people are WAY too smart to work here and I quote "I am the shining, tempting lure that has brought all new business to my current employer. They are aware of my job search and fully support it". Now I am no HR Specialist but this says to me that you must be one huge pain in the ass to work with or they would fight (and pay) to keep their companies biggest resource.

3. A college degree does not mean you are capable of performing tasks that a five year old could do. I should know... I have a five year old.

4. Being a stay-at-home mom gives you qualifications in the following areas: event planning, scheduling, gourmet cooking, difficult client relations, chauffeur, receptionist, editor, teacher, and nurse.

5. After reviewing and meeting dozens of people with the above qualifications, I AM STILL LOOKING!
