10. No they are not

Companies don't spend millions of dollars ensuring that the requirements for the job are exact as the job requires just to have people write their own thing. Resume writing is a science now. Why do you think so many folks are considered "overqualified"? Because they don't follow direction......that would be the last person on Earth I would want in my company....a person who does not follow directions or even worse a person who does it their way......forget it. I often hear people say, "I don't understand why I didn't get the job, they said I was overqualified." I just laugh and said did you write the qualifications and requirements they asked for? They typically say, "Oh no, I wanted to impress and write more"........I think IDIOT....no wonder you are not hired anywhere. When I talk to people about getting a job, I say, "do not send out 50 of the same resume."......send 50 DIFFERENT resume.......oh but that takes too much time.....well you are unemployed right? Yes......you used to work 8 hours a day right???? Right.....well perhaps working 8 hours a day to get another job would be advantageous. It just all makes me laugh....Sorry it just does.
