Too many Applicants....

Published

We recently posted an ad for a medical records/central supply position. In one day I received 47 applications. I called one person so far in for an interview. Her resume' looked great, but it took her ONE solid hour to fill out our application...it's only a few pages long. Why is it so hard to find competent people these days? A lot of the resumes were from 'schools' but the grammar on the cover letters was so bad I ended up sending back an email asking them to fix the grammar before sending any more applications. If you can't read well enough that it takes an hour to fill out a 3 page application, you probably should be applying for a job which is all about reading...yikes!

Specializes in LTC, Hospice, Case Management.
Some of our most kind and caring CNAs are the ones who I wouldn't have hired.

I would agree with this. Have also seen the best candidates on paper & during interview fail miserably once they actually got the job. Somedays ya just never know.
