candidates, I don't have sufficient time to devote to all those who are borderline and could be considered. For that posting, I got 439 resumes. All of them had to be reviewed in a window of about four hours. 273 of them had NO related skills, training, or education, but I still had to review them. And I did. Every last one.

Every one of them got my full attention and respect. I'm delighted with the person we selected for the position. Now I'm working on 4 other jobs, all with the same kind of numbers you see above. Until you've done this job, you have no idea.
