> "Experience with Home Depot’s Vendor Portal required" Posted by a national recruiting firm, no less. So let me get this straight. You're going to toss a resume in the trash because they haven't been keypunching data into a particular retailer's portal? For a Sales Director Job? Are you people complete morons?
Maybe simply a barrier to someone who is not knowledgeable enough to know the true intent of that question. Let's take an extreme. Say there was a job listing and part of the listing said 'must be able to cook hotdogs at barbecues'. Nobody would take that seriously and a vegan would still apply. Right? Or perhaps a vegan would not apply because they are not able to figure out what the intent of the 'trick' question was.
A 'sales director' is someone who understands sales and is above all not afraid to get past some sales barrier 'sorry we aren't interested right now' but will keep pressing on even after 'no' is the repeated answer (if of course they deem the opportunity appropriate).
I buy high end good. You don't know how many times I get back a reply which says 'sorry it's not for sale at any price'. That always means the same thing 'show me the money'. Of course there are things that are 'not for sale at any price' but typically not what I have found to be the case. What they are saying is 'I don't think someone will offer a price I would ever consider accepting' or 'I don't know the current market enough to even know what I have is valued at' and so on.
