[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work at a medical office in NoVA and we have been trying to hire a staff person for MONTHS.  You would think in this economy, it would be easy.  Nope, not so much.

We have people come in for interviews wearing shorts, talking on their cell phones.  We finally hired one person and she showed up late twice, then just didn't show up.  We had one person stall on her SS number and finally couldn't produce one.

We offer a fair salary, and are willing to train.  It's incredibly hard to find good, reliable workers.  So many people seem to just want to come to work and do nothing?  What is that about?  If so many unemployed people want to work, why aren't they actually showing up and putting in the extra effort at their job?[/quote]

You do have a point there.  I was hired two years ago as an Administrative Assistant after staying home with my baby for about one year.  I was the FOURTH person hired for this job within a 12 months time period.  My boss said the same exact things.  The job pays a pretty good salary for a support person and has rather flexible hours.  I've been with the company for a little more than two years now and I feel lucky to have found this job.

In this economy, with such high unemployment, why in the world did it take a year to fill your position?  I'm sure your boss is thrilled to have you!  It is such a HUGE hassle to hire a new person.

This is quite often the case.  Ask anyone who deals with hiring - the applicants do come to you with a sense of 'entitlement'.

It's pretty easy - show up on time and do your job.  It's not that much to ask.  But, for whatever reason, many employees can't/won't deliver.
