In Reply To: Big Pinhead & the rest of you HR administrators I have an MBA from a top program and solid experience but noone, and I mean noone wants to pay me to work. Don't you dare tell anyone not to send resumes for whatever reason. You receive a paycheck every month-try getting laid off from a big 5 firm(soon to be out of business) last June and still looking for work. You think logic dictates job searches for people like me?! Are you that clueless? I could care less about anyone but me and my family right now and getting my career going. There is no cost to point-click, & hope luck prevails. Networking as best as possible so if I feel like sending a resume to apply for a tap dancing position, then so be it. Who the hell do you think you are? You HR people don't even make real hiring decisions-you're a bunch of overpaid glamorized secretaries-nothing more. will see ya in 10 years when I'm financially stable and your still plugging your weak job.
Message: Big Pinhead is really obnoxious. But being that his job is to throw resumes in the garbage, he has convinced himself that the people SENDING the resumes are the bad people, and he's just a good guy. However, what you can learn from his message is that if you apply to a job, and are considered overqualified, the resume will with near certainty be tossed. As far as HR making hiring decisions... in some organizations they hire real low level employees, but at the level you're applying at, they are just screeners.
