Guy emails with a job quite above my skill level, with a number of "must haves" that I don't have, and have never worked with. When I said that I don't know anything about what you've just said other than "I can spell these words," his reply was that the environment offers really great OJT and we can help you improve your skills, and this one guy used that to get some high-level certification! Yeah, I'm sure he just walked in and aced that test with no previous knowledge.

It's really hard to create an analogy for someone that's supposed to be talking to you about technical matters, but the best thing I could come up with was "You can drive a car, with a little OJT you'll be a senior automotive repair tech!"

I've always found that companies that want certain skills and are hiring for projects aren't going to wait around a year while you take classes and learn how to do something new so you can do the job they hired you for, and I'm not willing to pick up and move halfway across the country for a job I know I can't do.

well train you

You'll become a slave. They're going to put you in a lower paying position with more hectic and stressful hours then if you try to quit you'll be (((charged))) for training.

Not true. They never "charge" you for any training.

I heard they did do that at the gay brothel where Anticlutch used to work.

Workers across the United States in fields ranging from nursing to trucking have been discouraged from leaving jobs they hate or can’t afford to keep because employers vow to charge them for training costs if they quit before an arbitrary deadline.

Fuck off kike. Seriously you are so obvious it's baffling to me you haven't been banned yet. You don't even try to not come off as a jew.

Dummy, you just get fired or laid off. You can’t be charged for training if they decide to let you go.

Fuck you faggot. You're literally the biggest homo gay fuck here.

Nobody charges for training in the IT space you m'fer. You call everyone a kike jew. Moshe mohol rabbi.

They didn't say they would train me, just that OJT was available. I'm still expected to come in with these skills, except that the recruiter didn't understand the difference between "I barely know what this is" and "I have experience using this that is relevant to your requisition."

I believe in this case that the recruiter is one of the people that constantly call and have no real understanding of how to make sure that my experience matches their keyword.

In this case, the keyword was FPGA. I know what that is, they're a common thing in electronics. Can I write a program for one? No. Is it even on my resume? No.

Sort of like the sign on bonus scam companies have going, where they pay you one sum, which you get taxed on, meaning you never can repay the sign on bonus if you leave, since you would need to pay more money than you ever received
