I suppose this has some truth to it. Given the dynamic between the oversupply of ‘talent’ relative to the hiring company sitting in the cat bird seat I think we’re seeing all kinds of awkward processes and, potentially, ineffective decisions. Too much time usually blurs the edges on what’s possible.

I wonder also how much misguided emotion augments the misfit. Meaning, a candidate wants to work at a certain company so badly, they overlook the actual job’s description. We see this in advertising all the time. They want the company’s name on their resumes, not necessarily to do the job they’re hired to do.

Same in reverse, I suppose (company wants to hire someone so badly they’ll even give them an inappropriate job). Either way, seems destined to failure. What do you think?

Especially relevant during this soft economy where employers are overly picky (demanding) and easily fall victim to the ‘analysis paralysis’ syndrome. Curious to hear your thoughts on what a job seeker can do to counteract this phenomena. Cheers, David.
