So then they want experienced people, but still only offer them 22k a year...and wonder why they can’t find a decent employee.

Haha, you must work for my company =P

Sounds like my case but I was on the way out where I was and needed something with decent medical at least for the short term. Being the only one in my remote facility with actual technical knowledge, willing to take responsibility, and actually caring about doing a good job is supposed to be finally yielding some fruit in a couple of months. Things should finally turn around moneywise.

I would bet you really nailed it!!

I just hate their luck, pay a decent wage and you will get good employees. 20% of employees produce 80% of the work, the hard part is finding that 20%.

Wait just a minute !!!

I am looking at an applicant who often stretches the truth on their resume.

I can spend even more money with an organization that checks backgrounds, but can still come up a cropper.

The applicant who thinks they DESERVE to start with no experience at a $65,000 or more a year salary hasn’t proven to me that they can write a coherent centence- speak a normal sensible conversation- arrive on time—stay focused on their job assignments- stay off the internet- stay off their cell phones- not Twitter at work....all these things.

Putting in a full 8 hours- really working at your job dities- just doesn’t occur to these ‘graduates’.

The horror stories I hear today from other people who have to work with anyone under the age of 35 are appalling. One neighbor quit a good job where he had seniority and experience and knowledge (Over 20 years) because the 2 jerk 19 y/o kids supposedly working at his store spent their days running RC cars in the parking lot and texting.
Management wouldn’t listen to him. He QUIT.

You’re kidding right?
Where do you think you start in a company? It’s at the bottom and work your way up.
