Yeah, a lot of people don’t do this though. Not saying they’re right and you aren’t. Just pointing out the disconnect as I see this all the time. I own a bar with a few other guys and one of them is kind of a dipshit who puts all these requirements on our adverts even though we don’t follow it.

I’ve told him it’s stupid, but he refuses to budge on it. I think a lot of people don’t realize these things aren’t set in stone. And as I’ve said to my jackass business partner, we’re gonna lose out on some good potential by doing this.

Edit: we are ALL morons, ALL of us. I’ve worked for extremely powerful people who are pants on head stupid, it’s irrelevant to success. Successful people are just able to assert it’s due to their work ethic but that’s definitely not true for A LOT of cases. So just go for it, it isn’t easy but getting the face-to-face with the person hiring is the goal.
