Yup, it all still sucks.
I uploaded my resume to the interview site, but in their office, they can't download it. Uh huh.
Companies I have worked for in the last 15 years (Manpower) have purged me from their files (no record...........but I have my W-2's).........last employer has a company policy of not writing letters of reference or even phone references....only work date confirmations. Uh huh.
And an updated correctly formatted Resume is worth what exactly?
One local School District 20...........well, let me post their requirements......this is for any position even janitor or Bus Driver, as well as Teacher. Uh huh.
This must eliminate 80% of applicants. I have letters of references from jobs back in the 1980s..many are dead or retired. Not good enough................the clerk at HR tells me references need to be recent last 5 years. Who can do this?
A completed application includes:
The Application Form
Current Resume with Work History (from date of high school graduation to present)
Four Professional References (listing the business, the references name, title and current phone number)
Three to Four Letters of Recommendation (preferably from current or former supervisors)
A visit to the Human Resources office to show driver's license and to complete paperwork requiring signature in person
Release of Information Form
Notarized Applicant Testimony Form (This can be notarized in the Human Resources Office or else where at your convenience.)
This is starting to annoy me.........I mean, I am not looking for a career, but only something to get me to age 62!
Job hunting is as bad a dating!
