#175002 - often enough, they don't know what the acronyms mean Responding to: ???'s previous message |

It is common that they fill their requirements lists with all the hyped acronyms they have picked up over the years. I've encountered a few HR people who didn't know that LAN and ETHERNET overlapped, ETHERNET being the most common LAN. The end result is that they tend to get the people who are lying the most. Remember the fresh students that send in job applications, and mention every processor and programming language they have heard the name of in a class? It makes one wonder how the HR people are selected. RE |
