Anyway, when they've got those requirements

That's an announcement that there's work that needs to get done.

At the end of the day, those requirements may not be met

But they'll go with someone who's the closest candidate.

As someone who's actually been in a hiring position (kind of)

If it were both then yes I'd take credit for that, as it would be the middle.

"constructive" implies some progress will be made. If I'm right then we aren't capable of doing anything to help. I'm just putting it out there that this may be a battle not worth fighting.

Shaddap.

aaanyway...

@Scribblehatch is a soros shill i know it

>virtue-signalling begins

I cAN't prove it but i know it

I used to work for a laundry delivery company.

This company, in particular, delivers by bicycle.

most drug dealers deliver by bike

We'd regularly tow 300 lb loads up hills.

i mean laundry

I don't see what the point of this story is but I'm sure we'll get to it eventually.

When we'd try to hire people, we would put our requirements forward.

>uphill both ways btw

I would've loved to deliver newspapers. No people to deal with. The silence of night. but then I discovered how long the routes are, and how 'okay' the pay is, and I divined that my car would die before I had the capital to replace said car to continue the work.

That was depressing.

Well, the candidates that would come up would INVARIABLY fall short.

And we weren't even asking for college degrees.

(We were asking for specific experience in cycling)

At the end of the day, one of the people we hired was actually a boxer. They dug the job because it was good exercise.

How specific though? Cycling isn't something a lot of people do outside of a hobby

At the end of the day, all we cared about was that the work was getting done.

Any time they're listing credentials on job listings, they're listing the 'ideal'. If you don't meet the requirements, and they don't want to hire you, fuck'em. But if you don't ask, the answer's no anyway. There really isn't any harm.

Which is why an oversaturated labor market is a problem for anyone not very specifically qualified.

People were laughing at me earlier for mention the HR blacklists.

Fuck **all of you** who did that.

They aren't the tooth fairy. They exist.

In Tech, sure.

If you apply to the wrong employer without the qualifications, they'll put you on one.

I don't believe that for a second.

We laughed at you because you said you were going to get blacklisted for sending a resume in

... Yeah.
