'A recent post over at Steve''s HR Technology about jobs that require degrees got me thinking. I believe that how well someone will do at a job has more to do with who they are than what sort of degree or experience they have.

Dear Evil HR Lady, I lost my job over a year ago. It paid very well and since then I have jumped around to about 4 different jobs trying to find a good fit and reasonable pay. Most of the jobs were beneath my skill level but I needed to earn more than unemployment so I took them. I finally landed an interview with a job that is comparable to my lost job in qualifications and pay, as well as skill level.

Dear Evil HR Lady, I have a manager, who for 6 quarters, did not deliver on his sales targets. He gets away with it by shifting blame on team members and wrong customer account selection. After missing his first 3 quarters, he blamed it on team and almost got an entirely new team on board. Now with new team he on board, he is still not delivering on his sales targets.

I haven't posted for a while, which is strange, I know. But it isn't for lack of questions, but rather because my darling toddler poured a bottle of water over my laptop keyboard.
