Lots of companies want specific experience and should be more open
minded. But it sounds like Tom's test of measuring the length of
lines falls into general knowledge. I once did not hire a high school
graduate that did not know how many inches were in a foot. I do not
think he would have turned out to be one of our best employees.

As bizarre as it sounds, I did work with a guy who could not read a
steel tape. Kind of a handclap when it came to measuring things
around the shop.

It's eight fifty eight. Close enough!

Not bizarre at all! Did you ever try to teach somebody to read a tape that
has no concept of fractions?
Can't say.

Do not know, so cannot say.

I would wager it get a little bit difficult when they're missing
that little detail.
