I'm screening resumes now... [View all]

...for the Associate Director position in my department. This is what I am learning.

1. People cannot follow directions. Most did not submit the things I asked for.
2. People cannot write. Cover letters are terrible!
3. People cannot spell.
4. People are not careful - so many typos!

I am finding myself deciding to interview folks who don’t quite have the experience I am looking for because they were able to send me the materials I asked for, error-free and with a decently written cover letter.
