The industry can attract unqualified people due to its glamorous image. This can lead to problems, such as poor-quality products or services. Employers should take steps to ensure that only qualified candidates are hired. A user asked on the forum, “What industry attracts the wrong people and aren’t qualified?
Here are some responses he got.!
POLITICS
“What qualifications would you need to be a politician? Other than being an idiot, know it all, talk over everyone, always have an opinion, create chaos, and incite to quarrel.”
ANY BOARD OF EDUCATION
“No idea what goes on in the classroom, let alone the offices of a whole district of schools, but they make every decision.”
ELDERCARE
“My town has one place that pays 11$ an hour… and they dont do drug screening. It’s filled with some of the worst people I’ve ever met. Staff wise.”
HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATION
“They are often business-oriented people with little to no experience in the health field. So they have no idea what those on the front line do. For them, it’s all about profitability.”
HOTEL MANAGEMENT
“I took an interview as a maintenance manager for a Hilton. I asked to view their facilities (for work), and their tool shop was a closet with a husky toolbox. I was bitter after not getting hired (despite going to school for marine engineering – I keep ships and their systems afloat), but that would’ve sucked. I asked what preventative maintenance schedules they had, and she didn’t know what that meant. God save that building.”
STOCKBROKERS
“I have some friends who are stockbrokers. I love them, but man, they are some bad artists. And not like, “Oh, they’re a good salesman and could sell you anything,” No, it’s like they make up as they go along and try to sound confident in what they say.”
ACTING
“Just like anything else, acting is a craft, and it takes training, practice, and experience to get good at it. But people think it’s something you can do with no qualifications. The worst part is because of the weird way acting works; some of those people do end up getting work.”
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
“The demand for people and decent salaries, along with low barriers of entry, means that all sorts of charlatans get into that industry.”
“And don’t get me started on the lies and qualification/CV fraud from a certain country.”
DISABILITY SUPPORT WORKERS
“I had the displeasure of watching one of them trying to complete an e-learning course. Seeing them get the simplest questions wrong was like that scene out of Idiocracy with the shape into hole test.”
ESTHETICIANS
“Everyone thinks they know it all and are qualified because they completed a 250-hour course.”
PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY
“Your Instagram photos of cats and sunsets do not qualify you to do professional studio work. It takes a hell of a lot of practice and learning to do that properly.”
VETERINARY MEDICINE
“Many people go to vetted because they ‘love animals.’ That’s not enough.”
“You have to be able to deal with people because you will be treating the pet AND educating the owner. You have to be able to multi-multi-multi-task, deal with gross/sad/terrifying/depressing/angry/stinky animals and people, all while holding your bladder for hours, starving, getting yelled at by clients, answering the phone, writing in charts and trying not to forget all the stuff that need to write down, order, put away, clean.”
LAW ENFORCEMENT
“It attracts bullies who claim to want to help people, but most of them don’t care and, worse, they don’t have the right mentality. Of course, the job doesn’t help. But the ones who end up hired are the ones who love using force on people and have a sadistic nature. They love causing problems for people.”
NURSES
“Honestly, a lot of the time, nurses. I’ve met many nurses who are unnecessarily mean and grumpy and can’t do their job properly.”
REAL ESTATE AGENTS
“Well, yeah, pyramid scheme real estate companies keep trying to recruit me, someone with no experience in real estate.”
