The other side of the unemployment coin. Some of these folks are just unemployable.

Having tattoos and body piercings don’t help, as well.

Executive? No. Floor sweeper? Maybe.

But when their unemployment payments expire, then they put on a nice suit and run the spell-checker...

Stories are legion of inept or half-hearted applicants who submit resumes marred by misspellings, show up at interviews dressed for a beach party, make inappropriate jokes, fail to learn basic details about the job and company in question, and otherwise leave hiring managers aghast. This is what you get when you have parents who raised their kids following the "everyone-is-a-winner-so-we-don't-keep-score" philosophy and send them to a school where they don't have to do anything to pass the course and know they can take a 99 week paid vacation before they have to get serious about finding a job and, failing to get that job, return home to sponge off parents who never could say "No" in the first place. Big surprise to find them walking around Wall Street with painted faces. Idiots.

I had an applicant that I placed 4 ones and four quarters in front of, then produced a fiver, and asked her to make change for a $2.50 purchase. She starteed to cry, as she did not know how.

You could be right. Maybe they are just filling out the applications in order to maintain their 99-week eligibility for the Unemployment check. They FUBAR the app because they don’t want to be hired.
I must admit, though, that I have no idea how unemployment compensation works.

When was the last time you saw a cashier (other than your own employees) count change back to a customer?
Mos cashiers hand back the change in a stack that makes counting and verification very difficult. They stack the coins on top of the bills.
They annoy me ...

They don't want to be hired.
They are just looking for an excuse to stay on the dole.
WAAAH. I didn't get the JOOOB. The BIG EVIL CORPORATIONS don't want young people/blacks/hispanics/women/fill_in_your_own.

Well, all of our students want to be ‘upstairs’ executives and not ‘downstairs’ workers. Their ‘educations’ are geared towards being ornamental and having a nice income from a posh desk job, not actually WORKING on something practical.

One of my favorites. We had an opening for a service tech (electronics). Got a decent resume through an agency. Called the guy in for an interview. Didn’t show on time. A while later someone noticed a guy sound asleep in his car in the parking lot. It was him. Badly hung over. He didn’t get in the door.
To: Red Badger
Definitely don’t tell them to turn stuff on or off clockwise or counterclockwise!

Most are employable, but are not worth the minimum pay required by law.

I had an applicant for a job once, electronic technician, the would not shut up the entire interview. Constantly talked. I could not get a word in much less a question..............
