in these times...
Mar. 5th, 2002 12:10 pmright now my job is setting up files for all the applicants for a certain administrative assistant position that we're trying to fill. we got easily a hundred applicants. some of them had masters degrees, and doctorates, and years of really interesting experience, scientific, european travel. students who are just out of college with honors and BS's. we got applicants from the netherlands. and india.
i feel sort of bad about it all. most of them are being turned away without even an interview. overqualified. i want to hire them all, give them all money, let them know that they are wanted, that their years of training were not for naught, that they will have no trouble putting food on the table and money in the bank. it makes me feel terribly sad that all these things are now not necessarily true.
also, i am being forced to move out of my personal office with two desks, my own phone line and four windows. i have to go sit at a little table in the receptionist's office, with no desk or drawer space. right under my boss's nose. no more LJ posting at work for me. i'm really pissed about it. ::growl::
i need a new job.
