Picked up by ZeroHedge: I have been reviewing resumes and just keep face palming...

One question, how old are the people that are applying to work at your company? If you say they are all under 30 or the majority that apply whom of which are under 30 are the ones with bad resumes, then you have to be lying. I can guarantee a large portion of the people you see applying are at least in their mid 30's to early 40's, seeing as how those were the dominant ages in the manufacturing job market. Most of whom lost their jobs back in 08 during the start of the recession and are still picking up the pieces today.

Anyways, if you have someone else help you with your resume, it then becomes NOT your resume, due to outside assistance, therefore the resume you get presented with will be given by someone whom in your eyes didn't care enough or didn't want to work hard enough to put effort into said resume so they had someone else do it. At least the people with shitty resumes you can assume did it themselves and had enough courage to bring it in, in hopes of being hired for their work in presentation.

Just a thought.

Fuck you cunt

Resumetards are addicted yo resume porn. They just can't help themselves

. . . . as a side line I applied for a job at a top Public School. It was an Application Form. I usually don't apply if a company insists they will only consider Application Forms. On the second or third page it asked for my Nationality, but the drop down box only listed countries. Now, every time they advertise I still get annoyed about it.

Just curious... what nationality is not defined by the name of a country?

Don't put words in my mouth, shill. I said no such thing.

They probably circle jerk off to the prospective ones

I guess he thought you were no longer here. LOL

I own a small manufacturing company. Most of the assembly work is done at a bench, with hand tools. The work is not difficult, but quality and consistency is paramount.

We are entering into our busiest time of year, and steady growth combined with losing one of our senior bench techs has caused me to run some ads (after spreading the word around to friends and associates).

I have been involved in the manufacturing business for about 30 years, and have seen thousands of resumes.

The last couple weeks I have been reviewing a couple dozen resumes a day. What I am seeing now, is stunning and disappointing. When did people stop learning how to compose a sentence? When did they decide that a resume composed of two sentences is somehow complete? The poor level of spelling, grammar, and frankly effort has me perplexed and perpetually face-palming.

So far, I have two resumes that were not immediately round-filed. Just two.

If this is the current state of our potential work force, we are in trouble.

I have felt this exactly for some time now. It is mainly dealing with staff over the phone, where they do Not even know their own job, product or processes.

The cabal in their attempts to keep us dumb, ignorant and dependant are also taking apart people's basic ability to function. And this is not just intellectually, but physically also. The sheer number of children now with allergies, sensitivities or mental health conditions is astounding and getting worse.

Our only hope is that this whole system comes to a grinding halt, and they desist with the chemtrailing, vaccines, fluoride & gmos etc. etc.

This assumes that it is always a good thing for an employee to apply thought.

Most jobs require no thought at all, just follow simple instructions and repeat ad nauseum.

You get a thinker in your midst and next thing you know it's all about how everything sucks and you're all doing it wrong and it would be better if and so on and so forth.

No, you don't always WANT a thinker.

Yeahhhhhh fuck that whole system coming to a hault thing.....sounds like you need better leadership skills....all these "bussin owners" placing blame on employees are idiots....when your a business owner everything is your faul

And in that case, Jai_Guru_Jesus is your man!!

Hasn't had an original thought in 40 years!

Spoken like a true loser. Everything is always someone elses fault.

- This is why Op wants to ensure an employee in his company has at least minimum writing skills.

Every employer, even for a simple assembly line job, prefers workers who can think for themselves. Sometimes things go wrong. Sometimes there is an emergency. Fast thinking, leadership, and intelligence are preferable in ANY capacity.

Unless you are creating a "workers' paradise" a la the Soviet Union.

I have millennials that I assist with their resumes for this reason. It seems that none of them understand the purpose of a resume, nor are they taught how to develop one.

So it's not just the Millennial girls who don't understand the concept of a "date" and a "boyfriend" ... Millennials just don't understand anything.

I hear you. But, grammatically speaking (and not a little ironically), your post should have said: "When did they decide that a resumé composed of two sentences is somehow complete? The poor level of spelling, grammar and, frankly, effort has me perplexed and perpetually face-palming.

But this is not a résumé, troll.

Why? his employee is putting together a physical product, that has nothing to do with writing.....lemme guess you have never owned a business?

But if you need workbench worker to put the few pieces together with the spanner and screwdriver, why the fuck they need to put CV in academic English?

English language literacy is considered overburden for pupils even in English speaking countries. You better try to get someone who can barely speak any form of English but understands how to assemble what you need.

From my experience, fuck that resume bullshit and start to talk to people. Takes you 2-3 minutes to figure out if the candidate knows what you are talking about, so you can take it to the next level.

If you go through the employment agency, it is even worse, you have failed house wife that wants to "build career" and gets to vet the potential candidates in the field that she has no clue about.

Bullshit about nicely written shit on the peace of paper without any actual knowledge is gone, world has changed, you need people that can do the job or are willing to learn.

Your posting here just proves Op's point.

You are hired as a troll, not business owner, and they can't even find someone with good writing abilities or intelligence - and forced to take on people such as yourself.

Yea. It's too much to ask Americans to actually speak English. That's rich. Social engineering at its finest.

You want OP to weed through hundreds of applications by interviewing every one of them? How about you pay him for the time required.
