>cope with a wider trend of people being unwilling to do the
basic grunt work of their chosen profession, especially when it
involves the act of reading.
If it wasn't something people wanted to avoid, there would be another name for it. :-)
>How typical of the soft-skilled professions to happily make
far-reaching and irrevocable decisions based on insufficient
data. Didn't we just have a thread about how to avoid false
conclusions?
Whether or not anyone on this list approves of the practice, we have to deal with it. Write your resume accordingly. As for insufficient data, if HR departments are in fact able to find and hire qualified personnel using this method, there is no reason for them not to use it. Particularly if it is efficient as well as effective.
