Random Thoughts, Random Deeds

To the End of June

What a month this has been, even wishing on a star along with deliberate, deep prayers have not made things easy.

​

Needing a Live in Apprentice

Have a position to train a dog trainer/kennel manager.

Finding that has been totally unrealer than even I anticipated.  Yep, "unrealer" was deliberate.

Billings and I don't mean Montana

All advertising websites are now charging.  I really don't have a  problem with that, because I expected it to happen ten years ago. 

However, I am having to pay a fee to receive Resume's that in no way have any qualifications to fill the position I listed.  And resume's that are so poorly drafted you can't dig enough to qualify the individual, because the information just isn't there.

A little hint to applicants:
I don't know what has happened over the past seven years,when I used to be responsible for the hiring and unfortunately firing at an international corporation.

But people you have got to qualify your responses.

If you list a company you worked for, also list where and when that was.  The immediate superior would also be helpful.

If you list something you claim to have experience with, again list when, where and for how long.  Qualify the response.

You have to qualify your answers, otherwise instead of the ole "file 13" that I used to use, now the Resume' earns the delete button.  The persons trying to hire are overloaded with requests.  No one is going to take the time to figure out if you are for real or not.

One applicant who qualified absolutely nothing on his Resume' wrote and asked me how I could reject him before seeing him face to face.

I took that one to heart, and sent him a lengthy reply about the things that needed tuned up in his resume'.  The problems were massive. 

​After explaining and recommending corrections to each failed step, I closed by asking him to make a bunch of notes about his life accomplishments and go see Linda at Linda's Secretarial Service to draft him a much better resume' to use.

I was most sincere about my responses, because I want everyone out there who really wants to work to be successful.
