Move your business to Michigan...
 

I guess it's good to be global, growing and be in the hardest hit state in the country.

We've had a job listing up on Craig's List for one hour and already received 29 resumes. Wow! :thumbsup

Amen toe dat shit.

I have 70-100 chicks contacting me a week wanting to model for us. It is fucking insane! Before this economy, it was 12-25 a week. But it's been off the hook for 18 months at least.

Even when I have hired some part timers, lawn boy, cleaning lady, etc.. I have too many people applying! You almost need to hire someone to sift through the applicants. It really is fucking crazy the past two years.

:2 cents:

are you replacing yourself ?:winkwink:

That would be an easy application.

Requirements:

1. Can you hold your liquor?
2. Do you own a hula shirt(s)?

:winkwink:

i hope you didnt put your company name or phone # on there. your phone will be ringing off the hook for days.

You forgot, Can You Dance ? :Graucho

no shit

I got 350+ applications for a development position aka office monkey

was too lazy to read through all of them and decided to hire someone to find the best one of those and do random accounting stuff

got 300 more applications

fuck...

Luckily for my experience, a lot of people applying for work do not have the basic skills. Whether they call me on the phone, or send me an e-mail applying for work, or even asking for additional information.

They blow their first impression right out of the gate so I can just hit delete and move on.

:thumbsup

people are hurting for jobs in Michigan.

I posted ads in Philly and got a lot of people in Michigan asking if they can work from home

I hear you there!

In the past 2-3 months, I have had a lot of northern Indiana people applying. My first question in every one of their interviews is, 'So,.. why would you want to drive here, which must be a minimum of an hour away from home, to do this type of work?"

They all tell me it is because they cant' find a job where they are at. Or they are already working 2 jobs, and want a third.

Fucking crazy.

Little pieces of me, hopefully!

We only allow hula shirts in the office :thumbsup

Thankfully, no! Yeah, it would be absurd I'm sure.

It's really rough out there, hard not to have empathy for all those out of work.


Brad

A situation in which no one is applying would also be hard I guess. So it's better this way than the other.

Actually Brad, we are up to 40 resumes in just over 2 hours.

are you hiring designers or just techie peeps?

We have other ads running and interviews scheduled for the continued growth of technical support.

This one in particular which apparently will have a hundred resumes in by tomorrow is for accounting. LOL
