Reply To: My employer has some openings!

I posted job listings at my employer here because I was trying to help people out. I posted the exact positions that were available, with the exact qualifications they are looking for.

Both times, instead of getting responses for these positions, I just get some random resumes that have nothing to do with the positions listed. Honestly, there is nothing I can do with such a resume. If they’re looking for an insurance underwriter with 5 years of experience, please don’t send me a resume if you’re fresh out of college with a degree in finance!

Because of this, I don’t think I will post job openings at my employer anymore. I’ve gotten one serious resume (which I passed along), and the first time I even passed along some others that didn’t fit what they were looking for – just in case. I caught some flack for that. This past time, I didn’t get a single serious reply! Only people who were completely unsuited for the positions listed. No more.
