Re: [PLUG] OT: Job Postings?
|
You just ran in to the difference between being qualified and actually
knowing how. Like most of Corporate America, recruiters work in CYA mode.
If a prospect had the "qualifications", it's not their fault if they screw
up. Actually knowing how to do something is of no value to the recruiter.
Now having a certification, after having gone through the last week I
couldn't spell administrator and now I are one course, that is valuable.
The secret to survival in this world is to either learn to side step the
bullshit or sling it. The recruiter is a slinger, you need to be a side
stepper.
