My wife is the HR director for her companies eastern branch. While they don't have much turn over, her biggest gripe is that even tho they have to have a high school diploma to even apply, most can't figure out how to fill out a simple job application without major mistakes. If 100 apply, she MIGHT find 10 to interview and of those 10, there might be 2-3 that are considered. Then there is the drug test and physical........ Unfortunately for hiring new folks, in our area, there is only 2.8 - 3% unemployment, so not much out there to choose from.

It's like that here too (about 2% Unemployment)-I recently had to hire a new Secretary and let me tell you there are a lot of people out there (I don't dare put them all in one group and call them Women!)that I swear I could put my hand on the other side of their Head, look into their ear and see clear through!

I ended up finding a pretty good one, but she wanted $60K to do it!
