My son applied for a job the other day online at a local resort to be a locker room attendant / janitor. He is 19 and in college, he also has been at the same job for the past 2 years. He was sent an automated response that told him that he didn't have the qualifications...In the old days we would take a kid (I was one) and hire them and train them, I think that many people had jobs like this, I had a former Hotel President tell the story that he was studying at Stanford for a degree in Economics, and took a Night Desk Clerk job to keep in school, while he searched for the right job, as Hotel President he joked that he hadn't found it yet...He rose to a VP of a prestigeous hotel company and onto the presidency of a luxury company.
If we took the time to develop and nurture our staff we would find a diamond in the rough or the mix so to speak..
