Good idea or bad idea?

Anonymous 6d

No. As a business owner, I have ZERO responsibility to applicants. If you have only fast food customers rep experience I am not beholden to put you on a waitlist at a law firm. That is some participation award bs if we’re being honest. I can get behind a waitlist for the highly qualified who just barely missed it though. But even then, if they’re so qualified, by the time a position DOES open up they should already be hired elsewhere, so it’s a waste of the recruiters time.

I had this happen to me but kinda the opposite. I was wanting to go to vet school (currently in my third term of vet school 🥳) and applied for a kennel tech position after I graduated with a BS in bio. They didn’t hire me as the kernel tech because I was “too experienced,” but instead made a new position for me as a veterinary floater where I would help out in every position as needed as my prior experiences at other vet clinics allowed me to work any position proficiently.

This isn’t a piece of proposed or even model sample legislation. I can’t include all the details. But it should be obvious that this doesn’t apply to people who lack certain professional degrees or certifications.

There’s nothing in your post that implies that. People need to apply for what they’re qualified for. If you know you only have junior analyst qualifications then don’t apply for a head of analytics position and expect to be rewarded. Just apply for the junior analyst position duh. That should be obvious. You’re just encouraging more legwork for the HR & recruitment departments for no meaningful payoff.

Because this was a new position, the manager (the vets sister) decided my job would also include things she was responsible for but didn’t like doing (like counting pills for inventory every week which took hoursss sometimes). Even tho I was told that I had more experience than many of my colleagues and the only one with a college degree, they started me at the same pay as the kennel tech they DID hire even tho she had no animal experience, high school diploma, or GED. It led to a lot of

Animosity because they admitted that I had enough experience to have a position LITERALLY created for me, had a bachelors, but couldn’t pay me more than someone who had none of that.
