From a resume I came across this morning:
EXPERIENCE SUMMARY
Have 4.3 Years of extensive experience in Information Technology
You have 4.3 years of experience do you? 4.3? What the hell? We break down years by months, not decimals. Unfortunately for you, life consists of more than just figures you robotic fuck.
I'm trying to understand what amount of time 4.3 years would be. The best I can determine is that 30% of a year's time would occur 3.6 months into the year. So just over halfway through April.
It's upsetting I took the time to even figure that out. It's also upsetting that you're alive.

As Starr says--"Another dumbass trying to get a job"
Starr in Tampa recently received this passive aggressive missive. It's long and painful. Get ready.
Hey Starr
You say that I am not qualified but you would think that being in the banking business for 10 years, I would know how a reverse mortgage works……its not hard.
I am looking for a salary plus commission job and this seems to be 100% commission job, so that might not work anyway.
But I did want to defend myself.
If anything I am over qualified for the job and know that I could do well.
The majority of my business is senior individuals that are investing in our local real estate market, so I know that I work well with that age group.
I have been a self motivated, producing sales manager for the past 9 years, and I have gained a mountain of knowledge in that time frame.
Sure I do not know what Met Life is offering seniors, but I know with my experience that it would not be hard to sell.
Thanks again for getting back with me and hope that you find what you think you are looking for.
Kindest regards

In Starr's words: Why can't people just accept it when a recruiter tells them they aren't a fit??? Does the part in my job description where I specifi...cally outline the experience required make no difference to these people?? I need you to blog about this (Consider it done, Starr!) to talk me down or I am going to eventually end up telling someone off and I don't think that is in the best interest of my career stability! Thanks!
