Comment on Anon applies for a job

Every job I’ve had except for my first retail job I have not met the posted requirements, but I’ve been able to either learn on the job or proved in the interview process that I know the subject matter despite not having the degree.

Um… No. If the company doesn’t value my time by posting a correct job listing, I don’t want to work for them. These are the same HR people posting the jobs who will then have trouble organizing a good work environment, or making sure people aren’t abused/harassed in the workplace.
When a company tells you its HR department is full of idiots I think you wanna listen to them.

I’ve never seen a posting that far off. I mean if you’re applying for waiter jobs and they list a bunch of HVAC qualifications, that sounds more like a mistake where they gave the wrong position title or selected the wrong job description. Which would be an honest mistake. These HR people are human just like you and I. Mistakes will happen.
