I had a recruiter directly tell me, that for a job listed as needing high school diploma and basic Microsoft skills, that they wont actually hire anyone unless they know the industry specific skills already because they dont want to train anyone. And this is for a job that barely pays over minimum wage.
For another job, even though it says high school and pays accordingly to a high school education, they wont actually consider your resume unless tou have a bachelor's degree. So now I need a bachelor's degree to answer phones?
And these are the same companies that'll be in the media saying that no one wants to work and they can't find employees. Theyre full of shit. #business
