On June 20, 2014, I applied for a senior graphic designer position that
this company advertised on LinkedIn.
Note the presence of the giggly-faced twentysomething "Senior Talent Acquisition Manager." Of course, I never heard anything.
On August 19, the job was posted on one of the design job boards (Coroflot), with the same inept dipshit of a “senior talent acquisition manager” who simply didn't know what to do with the 100+ applicants from LinkedIn. "So, let's just start over and post this job on a new job board, maybe this time we'll only get a dozen applicants! And, if we again get bombarded with resumes we'll just go dump the job on yet another job board and begin all over!"

Of course, if I'm wrong and everyone from the LinkedIn posting was disqualified for some reason, I'd be curious to know what exactly WERE
the real qualifications for candidates applying for this job. For instance, did they exclude everyone who wasn't a ditzy blonde-haired millennial? Did they disqualify
anyone who is unemployed? I would truly love to know what they were looking for
in the "perfect candidate" for this position. And, please, don't
anyone dare tell me there are no qualified graphic designers in the current job market...I have yet to see a single design job posted on LinkedIn that didn't get at least 100 applicants, plus graphic
designers are a dime a dozen, especially in this horrid state...
