<p>The story may be getting old, but for the kids that are degreed already without work, or get no response black hole resume submissions, it sucks. </p>
<p>I know a hiring manager for a Fortune 500 company, he said the human resource people are NOt doing their jobs. He is getting second round interviews with people with phony degrees, phony resumes, zero presentation skills. He has does not know HOW they have even gotten to him, a waste of time for both parties. This is not the first hiring manager I have heard this from.
When kids do not take on ridiculous debt, have stellar resumes, applicable skill set, qualify for any entry level job based on skill set, yet can not get past the spider resume/human resource drones, what is left but to complain.
So as they say unless you walk in their shoes, or it is your child. </p>
<p>No one is denying the utility of a degree, but the stupidity of what is going on out in the new grad job field, is worthy of some serious change.</p>
