Keeping up the theme of the week – making a hire – I would love, just once, to see an HONEST job posting, where the employer lists their REAL requirements.
I think it would look something like this:
Month: October 2005
Addendum
The White House claims that 20 Supreme Court justices had no prior experience as judges before their appointments, including William Rehnquist, John Marshall, Robert Jackson, Louis Brandeis, Lewis Powell, Arthur Goldberg, Earl Warren, Tom Clark, William O. Douglas, Harlan Fiske Stone and Felix Frankfurter.
Finding Good Help (It Ain’t Easy)
The local paper has Help Wanted ads for painters, landscapers, truck drivers, office clerks, cooks, and stretch limo chauffeurs.
What do these postings NOT have in common with the BFOQ’s for appointment to the Supreme Court in Bush’s World?
They all require job experience.
Better
Yesterday, the Red Sox beat the Yankees 10-1, thus earning themselves a Wild Card slot.
While this epic struggle was taking place, the kids and I sanded and sealed the trash bin container.
Letdown
Yesterday, the Red Sox lost a key game against the New York Yankees, and in spite of many hours of preparation, we registered ZERO kids for the Tech Workshop at the annual Harvest Festival.
The latter tells me that we haven’t yet discovered a way to find “our” kids, something we as a group are planning to discuss tomorrow afternoon.
I still believe in what we are trying to do with the Workshop, and fortuntely, a number of people, including at least one local foundation, have told me it is also important to them: providing enrichment opportunities that aren’t currently available anywhere else.
