Susan,
Great points, Susan. We are in a difficult time and having a job is not a given and yet it is a necessity for most people. I, too, am finding that I am getting candidates who have no where near the qualifications for the position and yet they apply. It is frustrating because you still have to review the application and that is a time consuming task. You make an interesting point about the employee retention and student retention being polarized. There is probably a lot of truth to it although I have never thought about it quite that way. And I don't notice it so much because employees are not leaving voluntarily, and, if they do, there are many applicants seeking that vacant position. It is an interesting dilemma.
