that if I looked ONLY for the same position I held previously I would have to wait for one of the 5 companies in this city to hire for one of the 7 (tops) positions they have open for that field.
One company does, my heart palpitates, I can hardly contain myself... this is it, they can't ignore that I would be PERFECT for this job. Resume...sent Cover letter... customized sweet disposition eluding to how much they will love me... covered... now wait.
That was a week ago, new copy of the same ad now available and includes that they would also prefer a four year degree.
The more employers ask for a BA or better, I get the feeling that they are demeaning the years spent in college. Thanks for that time, it shows that you have really applied yourself towards your goals. Now here is a 10 dollar an hour job and can you stop by starbucks on your way in? What I mean to say is, not ALL jobs can require that. If you raise the standards for the lower paying jobs you are essentially lowering the curve.
Plus, I applied for a another admin position today they said it was contract work :)

Hello Brian,
Unfortunately, the opportunity we are seeking to fill is requiring bilingual skills in Spanish and English. It would not be a fit. We appreciate your interest though.
Thank you kindly,
Angela
Wie nett! and how fitting that the job description is generically called "customer service rep" If only they could be more specific about WHICH language and specifically WHAT job they expect... Pretty sure most jobs are about the customer. Lets all name the different types of jobs called CSR. Cashier, payroll, tech support, telemarketing...
