The downvotes are misplaced. I have seen this job seeking lack of skill first hand. Job wants a cover letter, work history, and notes about looking for a person with past volunteer experience to show that they are a community driven individual; since the employer donates profit to the community. Resume comes in and instead of cover letter, it has a long rant about they felt their upbringing was badly done by parents.
No awareness about what was requested as the application process, and no self awareness about oversharing at a job interview.
And it’s not isolated.
Had one guy answer all good answers to questions claiming to know this software package. 2 weeks in its looking odd that he hasn’t finished the training package, turns out he was just on Instagram all day.
Found out he had no clue about the software and why he was also canned at previous job.
We have no issues training a good candidate, but if you just lie and hope to coast without doing anything…well there is the door.
