This is so funny. At my work we actually had to implement more strict hiring standards because we would tend to hire people that were very impressionable but couldn't really perform on the job. Resume, interview etc was amazing but in terms of actual doing the job..nope, not at all. To say the least, we now use a comprehensive exam to pre-screen candidates before we interview them which pretty much solved the problem. The people we hire now have at least a baseline level of knowledge we can build from as we train them.

I guess the younger generation is getting better at faking it until you make it, I guess? lol
