Job Hunting Debacle

Monday, April 30th, 2007

I’m currently in the market for a *good* job, and my resume on Monster has gotten me tons of replies. Some good, some bad. I have something on Thursday that I’m particularly excited about.

But with all the good responses, I’ve experienced a lot of what I’d call “trickery” in job postings. Why aren’t companies more upfront about what the job you’re interviewing for entails? More ofthen than not, I’ve spoken to recruiters on the phone discussing a position, and when I go for the interview it’s a different scenario altogether.

Seriously, if you’re looking for door to door salespeople, then say it up front. Don’t waste my time by coercing me to waste my time interviewing by presenting the position as something altogether different.
