It was for a specific job that we have an opening for at our facility.

It contained specific instructions. Either fax a resume or e-mail a resume. Unfortunately, it listed our company name.

In addition to accounting, one of the things I have to take care of for our facility now is HR, too.

My phone has been ringing off the hook and people have been showing up at the front door.

Only three people were interested in the position that was advertised.

Everyone else wanted something else.

We don't have anything else.

But, I think they've made me insane.

That is the technique being trained into job seekers: find the company name and contact the HR dept, because if one job is available, others might be. And uh don't fax or email the resumes, that doesn't get you hired.

Needless to say, I've tried to ignore a lot of the training.

Oh, and good luck.

But, but...why would someone hire you if you can't follow basic instructions?

Because the folks who follow the herd (basic instructions) don't stand out from the herd.

Believe it or not, my major company paid another major company to teach us this.

Those who stand out from the herd get eaten by wolves!

Wow. That's not too smart. Let's annoy the employer before we even have a hope of getting an interview.

Maybe a bout of writing will restore you to sanity. :0

Makes you wonder if some people can read, huh? I temped in an HR office for a week. It was an interesting experience to say the very least. LOL.
