Sifting through a Stack of Resumes...
You need to hire someone and you have a huge stack of applicant resumes because the economy
hasn't been so good lately. You narrow it down to a handful. One applicant comes from the right college. Another comes with stellar recommendations. And yet another set all sorts of production records at his last place of employment.
You pick one. You come up with all sorts of reasons and rationalizations, but you pick one.
And your next project comes in late and overbudget. And your company doesn't meet it's quarterly sales goals. And the guy at the burger joint can comprehend the idea of "Hold the Mayo." And there's an error on your mobile bill it takes two hours to resolve on the phone. And your pharmacist gives you the right number of Lipitor pills, but the wrong dose. And the news show you watch on TV doesn't fact check it's story. And you voted for the most qualified candidate. And... And...
And you weep to yourself quietly because you know that we are a nation built on interpreting and misinterpreting resumes.
And you know, in your heart, that there was a better answer in the pile of resumes that you probably didn't even consider for a minute...
Maybe you should have started Cesar Hernandez over Howie Kendrick...
