Typical. Everyone wants a job, but no one wants to work.

Where did you get that nonsense?
Suggest return it and get a refund.

There'll be something wrong with every job you'll ever have, son.

In my recent experience with job seeking, everyone wants an employee,
except for the ones that have been presented to them. This isn't just
me, either -- I know of jobs in this area, in my specialty, that have
been open for months. And others that I've applied to through agencies
where the hiring manager was rejecting any applicant that didn't hit
every single one of their "required" and "desired" capabilities.

"Come work for us, except we're too scared to hire you if you're not Mr.
Perfect".

In my business, we expect *far* more than Perfect.

Unless you are a 23 y.o. Asian male with a Ph.D and can claim
37 years OTJ experience, you are considered too old and
more than a little scary.
