Don’t People **READ** any more? (Hints for Job Hunters)
As a follow-on to my most recent rant:
Don't People Read Any More
Craigslist has really fallen.
So far I’ve received a handful of responses to my advertisement, which asked people to write a cover letter and send their CV in a particular format. The position was for on-site work.
I received four responses that met this minimum requirement, all of which contained canned cover letters. The ad asked for specific, enumerated skills; no one directly spoke to any of them.
Of course, I received a paltry 10-12 other responses; it seems that the only PHP programmers in the area are either all gainfully employed or aren’t willing to work on-site. Or they're in India, which of course is not in the area. (There seems to be plenty in India, though...)
