Is it just me or is everyone else getting tons of calls, people showing up without calling first or sending in resumes, many of which are people fresh with certs and no experience? This is getting really crazy around here. We haven’t even posted anyjobs for a long time.
What is even stranger to me right now is that almost all my professional IT friends are either A) not happy in IT
B) Love IT but say you’ve got to LOVE it because the job is essentially way more stressful, difficult and tiring than many jobs (Which I would attest to as well)
A & B seem mostly to be dealing with people, budgets etc. and although I stop the “Dilbert” chat and the “L User” talk always, the obvious frustration levels surrounding the people we work for on both ends of the spectrum sometimes make for some easy humor targets.
Anyway, IT work is generally not easy money nor is it something everyone can deal with long term, so then, why is it when I go to a family picnic I am almost a hero to people who want to get trained and work in a field where there are effectively not near enough jobs and the stress levels are high? I get the hobby/love thing, but many of these people can barely install a game and get it to work…. I just don’t get it…
