The quotes below are about this issue:
Employers say candidates need more training in basic job application and interviewing skills.
| "I'll just comment that we are seeing a decline in the interview skills. We are able to knock a lot of applicants out just by talking to them for a few minutes because they aren't showing up in a professional capacity. They are not able to answer questions coherently in some cases. I mean, some of their skills are really poor. And we get the feeling that—in the LPNs specifically—that they are coming in with attitude of, 'You need me.' And it's almost this entitlement. It's really getting very apparent, in our world anyway, at our facility, that they don't even know what they are doing to get the job. And then we are seeing an increase in complaints from them after the interview because they didn't get the job, and are not able to understand why. I field those calls on a weekly basis." | Central |
