3/22?

you're delusional if you think you're going to get a majority when there's about 300+ candidates per job ranging to thousands.

they're probably just as desperate as you are

nah, one replied she's impressed by my experience so is eager to meet me

i worked in a HR department as an intern over the summer at a bank and it's a fairly quick process calling people in for interviews if the position that needs to be filled needs to be filled urgently

Doesn't necessarily mean they were actually impressed.

I say it all the time to new job hires when I'm interviewing them.

But good luck nonetheless.

That's a canned phrase that hiring managers use to make you feel wanted so you will invest extra time and go to their interview.

i think if someone calls you 3 times, cannot get ahold of you then emails that that its true.

i know perfectly well for a 40/h position she'd have hundreds applying.

and also, 3/22 is pretty normal if you qualify for the position you're applying for.

if you have only 3 months out of the 5 years they require, then they are desperate for just about anyone and probably most of the people applying have no experience in whatever experience they need

---

erm no. its called having a background in the field they focus on but not in the position or industry.

say you're hiring a claims officer for a fire & flood company. why would you hire someone with 5 years claims experience over a 3 month experienced claim officer who has 2 years previous experience with fires and floods in an emergency responder & investigation role?

latter is more qualified.
