I wonder why items are not checked for correctness. In this segment they say that a mechanic knows how to "grind pistons". This makes as much sense as saying that a farmer knows how to milk a chicken or that a cook knows how to fry water.
I see these silly errors frequently and it doesn''t instill much confidence in the reporters.

- lets take a look at one said human specimen by the name of oh what say you George Herbert Walker Bush President of United States of America he alleges he graduted FROM Yale University... can you be that dumb, OH YEAH!

And now, the REAL reason for my comment, this *** about hurry hurry get a college degree, whoa, hold it not so fast, unless you plan to be a Physcian for Attorney-At-Law don''t waste your time getting a piece of paper.

Human resources fradulent hiring practices goes something like this WHO YOU KNOW, in Santa Cruz, CA they post a position for the libray 20 work week full benefits, 5,000 applicants applied and of that a second screening to take the test I was one of those applicants.

Who got hired, the librarians son. His test score 97 he missed 2 questions, he was handed a scan with pre recorded answers and was told to just sign here, several of us witnessed that and reported it.

He was hired who cares about our complaints. We fogot to follow up with a class action law suit.

So, beware not to enroll in some idiot college for what? Here is a good one, managerial positions, 90% are filled by family members well in advance so don''t be that stupid to think that equal opportunity is the law, the game is WHO YOU KNOW that can falsify test results for you, I already witnessed that too many times to agree with the *** about hury hurry go get a degree for what you don''t need it and it sure don''t pay $300 per hour that''s for certain.

Job titles mean nothing and companies that rely on this type of historical detail are fooling themselves into thinking they''re getting a candidate with a solid base of credentials. It''s functionalities that are the real story of whether or not a potential candidate is capable of doing a job in or out of the realm of a job title. Too many prospective employers only look at job title or company name when actively looking at potential candidates. Their resume scanners are probably keyed this way. They lose out on a lot of resource talent.
