Once we had a programming department. Better than 2. A vacancy is hanged, such as a job above the city average, and specific knowledge is not required, except for the basic knowledge. 99% that will have to train on our profile. But here is the problem: a month or two is going, and to us only some life-taught sanitary technicians, cashiers, and ladies for 40 resumes.



My friend was looking for a job at that time. A smart and good programmer. He said he sent us a summary. But this did not happen to the leader. At that moment, a bad thought came to me. So I decided to check it out.



I took my resume. FIO also changed the name of the company at the last place of work. I sent. The perfect coincidence, you won’t even have to train. We were waiting for the results from all the departments. But, unfortunately, and that week hr brought only a bunch of accountants and vendors of age.



The manager, of course, then went to the selection of flights to these personnel recruitment specialists. It turned out that both I and my friend did not pass the age criterion, too young = inexperienced, and companies need good specialists (plunge that 95% of the IT department is under 30 years old).



A friend in the end successfully completed the test task, arranged for us. But it was somehow sad to imagine how many more literate specialists we missed.
