[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being book smart doesn’t bring much value to an org when practically every piece of information you want is at your fingertips.

It isn’t hard to find college educated employees. Finding college educated employees employees that [b]can think, analyze, process and apply that is a rarity.[/b] [/quote]

People with these skills usually have personal characteristics that employers may find undesirable.  High critical thinking skills tend to come with less willingness to simply follow orders, not wanting to do grunt work and more friction when there is disagreement on how things should be done with other employees who may not want to look stupid in comparison.

Our workplace isn't well adapted to using talents of these people efficiently. A lot of them end up unemployable, we have a lot of waste of brainpower because of how our corporate culture is structured.  And you, as a hiring manager end up with people who are just ok but have to be babysat, and holding on to that one employee who can babysit them dearly and hoping they never quit.  :lol: [/quote]

So much truth in this.[/quote]
