Comments on: The Pre-Interview Test Most Miss…and How to Pass it Every Time (guest blogger Lorena Stanley) http://www.careerattraction.com/the-pre-interview-test-most-miss-and-how-to-pass-it-every-time-guest-blogger-lorena-stanley/ Start Attracting Opportunities Instead of Chasing Jobs Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:30:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Victoria Jones, PHR http://www.careerattraction.com/the-pre-interview-test-most-miss-and-how-to-pass-it-every-time-guest-blogger-lorena-stanley/comment-page-1/#comment-4082 Victoria Jones, PHR Sat, 12 Dec 2009 10:12:17 +0000 http://www.careerattraction.com/?p=3191#comment-4082 Lorena, You are absolutely right in your description of a day in the life of an HR person. I am going through this right now for a company I do consulting with. Some days, I dread posting an ad because I know many resumes will come through that don't come close to what I am advertising for. I don't understand why a person with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration/Finance would apply for a field Superintendent position in an underground storm, sewer, pipeline construction company. It would really help if people would completely read the advertisement, not just blast their resume for any open position. I understand people are desparate for jobs, but take good care of your career and only apply for jobs you are qualified for. Lorena,
