Companies Hiring Like Crazy? |

HR is getting a bad rap here, when the net net is that the candidate was not truthful on their application.
Other than having several interviews, a company takes a chance on an unknown quanity when they hire someone. The information on the app was not truthful -- that implies integrity issues. Given the current climate in a Sarbanes-Oxley world, we now have an example of what seems like nothing, ending up being something. Falsification of application is grounds for termination at my company, as I'm sure it is at most.
This was not a clerical error on the part of the school, and I don't know anyone who doesn't know when exactly they graduated from college.
Sorry about your luck with this. Let this be a life lesson, that integrity matters. Now, it's time to let that job go; let that company go. Companies are hiring like crazy, and you shouldn't have any trouble finding a position. Just make sure that your qualifications match the requirements for the job that you are applying for.
Good luck with your job search. |

You've got to be kidding! What field are you in are where are you from? National unemployment is only down because people have been laid off for so long that they've long-since stopped being counted in the unemployment numbers. Also, many degreed people are working interim jobs in retail sales and restaurants while they try to find jobs to make decent livings. Furthermore, there comes a point when companies just cannot lay off any further, and most reached that point long ago. Lastly, under this administration, the unemployment numbers and numbers of jobs created are always revised a few weeks after being released. The economy is NOT good.
