I am a "high school graduate" (GED) on paper. But owing to a life of experience and a early start in reading and general awareness of surroundings, I'd gladly go toe to toe with anyone with a paper college diploma for essential skills. And in any reasonable work situation, such as one where I could have several weeks or a month of lead time to get up to speed on the specific requirements of the job... I could score even on their own turf.
The current trend in HR seems to be using the Internet to remove human judgement and "the interview" from the front line of the hiring process. In its place, a machine-like contact involving websites, a sterile distillation process that relegates people like me to the "no callback, not even interested" queue.
It's Evolution in Action. For they not I.
- bumby 7y agoWhat positions are you envisioning in this statement? I'm curious mostly about your statement that "several weeks or a month of lead time" is sufficient for requisite skills (unless, of course, you are implying it's a position that's substantially related to your existing skill set).
