That's cute but in general, people with mechanical engineering degrees gravitate towards engineering jobs not drafting.

they have high expectations and only get people that cant meet the requirements and then
they bitch because there is no skilled people to fill the positions.

most companies do this anymore and wonder why only crazy people apply.

Its their business of course but that doesn't mean its the best way to find good help.

This. I've seen lots of job postings similar to this. New Grad, Entry Level Mechanical Engineer: 5 years experience and PE required

I was also offered less money for an engineering job than I earned in my internships in college on multiple occasions

In my experience a lot of companies have issues hiring Engineering positions. I've had some that just nailed the process and were fantastic, but more usually interviews involve talking about your experience in stress analysis of composite structures and FEA to a junior HR girl who has no idea if what you just said was English and proceeds to ask you if you know how to use Office

This thread didn't take long.

I love the corporate cock sucking on this site.

Fucking shit stain employers demanding top tier employees then wanting to insult them with shit for pay but still having the nerve to demand the world out of them. Yeah, we all have to suck the corporate cock because employment isn't a two way street or a symbiotic relationship. These stupid fucks actively scrape the bottom of the barrel after seeing that this initial plan didn't work out so well then complain about not being able to find good employees.

It's a dog eat dog world these days. Treat your employer with the same contempt they treat you with, always be on the look out and ready to pounce on a better opportunity, and always remember that you and your loved ones come first. They want to treat their employees and customers like shit while raising prices and lowering quality and service? Give them the same treatment.

Oh arfcom patriotic, capitalistic, conservative real Americans, please forgive me for not gobbing the corporate jizz and speaking ill of shitty employers.

Yep, Seen it before.

So they advertise, making job qualifications that it is very unlikely anyone will meet except the one they already have in mind.

Time for Trump to put hefty tax penalties on bringing in H1B people. I doubt there is a job out there that no one is America is qualified to do, it's more like the company doesn't want to pay what it is worth.

Used to see that all the time on USAJOBS, it would read something like "Needs 1 year specialized experience at X level OR a Masters Degree" or "Needs three years specialized experience at X level OR a PhD". I always viewed it as they wanted to make it more favorable to veterans though, tons of civilian DOD jobs on there are written like that. Makes it tough to get foot in the door if you aren't ex-military.

Those crack me up...  They want a PhD (multiple preferred) Nobel Laureate with 20 years' experience... on a piece of software that was released last year.. all for the princely sum of $45K/year and work in a cubicle next to the sewage plant.  Then they wonder why they get no "qualified candidates" and have to promote Shaniqua the barely literate receptionist instead.

Fraternity member graduated with a mechanical engineer.  To the best of my knowledge, never worked a day in his life in that field.  Last I talked to him, he was hawking some kind of Amway bs.  Tim has probably hit the nail on the head.  Some people serve a purpose, somewhere.
