<p>Gah.</p>

<p>Not one of the lot are qualified for the job posting.  It is for an SAP integration specialist, and I got one clown internal to the company who is basically in a manual labour job sending me his resume.  Nothing wrong with that, but he lists his "Selling Points For The Job" (that was his heading, not mine) as "Muscle."</p>

<p>Calgon, take me away.</p>

<p>Better yet, Mr. Glenfiddich, take me away.</p>

<p>I did this same thing last week for an analytical chemist position. We had resumes from a dog groomer and a real estate agent. The friggin job requires a PhD in chemistry or microbiology...WTF are these people thinking? Out of 30 applicants only 1 was worth even interviewing (and she already works here)and another one didnt fit this description but better fits another position we have posted so we are interviewing her for that. I thought jobs were hard to find? If so why don't we have any qualified applicants?</p>

How about hiring a microbiologist? I will submit my CV though I am completely unqualified. ;)<br>

I have two projects I need developers for: a PeopleSoft Developer and a PHP developer with experience in Symfony or Yii MVC frameworks. I cannot find any decent resumes after posting on Craigslist.</p>

<p>The COO of my partner company says he's got an account at a job website that will allow me to gain access to resumes there. I think that's my next step.</p>
