Well, it looks like you have thoroughly confirmed my dark opinion of HR
departments. Instead of helping, they're hindering the process of finding
qualified applicants because a) there is an additional bureaucratic layer
between the hiring people and the applicants with its attendant
inefficiencies and sloth; b) they don't *really* know what the manager is
looking for; because of 'b', c) they have no clue what to look for in the
ideal candidate who doesn't match *exactly* the qualifications listed; and
d) they HR people, because they have no f^H^H^H^H^H^H reaking clue of what
they're talking about, they generally tend to not tell the applicant the
right thing, which in turn generally tends to turn the qualified applicants
off.

Yup.

I recall at one major multinational I was at reviewing resumes from
the recruiting office for a position we had open in integrated circuit
design. They actually sent us a friggin electrician's resume.

Electrical engineering, electrician, so similar in skillset right?
And this was a company whose bread and butter was engineering.

Woof.
