So then they want experienced people, but still only offer them 22k a year...and wonder why they can’t find a decent employee.”
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 duties- 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.
I’m 32 - and notice it with coworkers. I was referring how a company like this will change job requirements from “recent college grad” to “college grad with XXX yrs experience” and not increase the salary offered...and wonder why they STILL can’t find decent employees.
