[quote=Anonymous]I don't know why someone would write an ad that way. I hired a nanny recently and in the ad I included the number of hours, the hourly/overtime/weekly rate, the ages of the kids, the basic parameters of the job, and the core benefits. I was astonished by how many people did not read the ad and sent applications that were totally non-responsive. I even interviewed someone who said she had read everything, thought it sounded perfect, etc... and then informed me that her rates start $4/hr higher than what I was paying. It was a total waste of time for both of us. (And fwiw, my rates are competitive - well above the $15/hr mark.) So people can be ridiculous on both sides of the equations. I would assume that someone who advertises a range that large doesn't know what they're doing and wouldn't waste my time - especially once they then tried to undercut the rate they had posted. Ridiculous.[/quote]
