Eric D. Brown - Technology, Strategy, People & Projects: The job hunt

    That is insane. That company should not be allowed to exist.

    Another reason we need to focus on the "human" side of Human Resources!

    Bet your friend didn't lose any sleep over the lame response and best of luck to her in finding a great position with a solid company!

    Raven - Spot on comment. That's exactly what people need to start doing...focusing on the 'human' side of the equation.

    Two points...

    I'm fond of the expression "we eat our own dogfood". IT should use what it builds, if possible, and it should sit with or try the role of the user. I'm an IT consultant, and in every applications project I've managed, I tried as much of the application as possible. It's eye opening.

    Point two: Your friend has a great opportunity here. She should call the appropriate executive - HR or IT, as she thinks best, offering to help fix their recruiting! Press the case and ask how many resumes were accepted. I'll bet they have a real problem with the return on their site investment!

    Stephen - Great point....and your are correct. We should eat our food...if we build it, we should use it.

    I'll pass your Point Two along to her and see what happens.

    Thanks!
