Not Qualified?

George Blomgren wonders what people are thinking. After describing a vacancy in his company, he says:

Only three out of 14 applicants have indicated an experience level and salary requirements that are even in the same ballpark as those spelled out in the job posting. The rest .. I wonder what they're thinking?

They're thinking that they have all these skills and abilities that would work in the position if only George would give them a chance. But of course he won't, because he asked for those qualifications for a reason.

Don't apply for jobs you're not qualified for. Instead, figure how how to GET qualified. A much better use of time and energy.
