I would pay the people for those comments once they begin completing real orders and include it with their next paycheck. If they dont complete orders after training, screw em, they wasted your time.

I mean how much money are we even talking here?

how much would you pay a writer for 25 blog comments, 15 increase blog comments, and 15 yahoo answers?

As far as charging for interviews, yeah, I was just ranting but in a supply and demand world, I could see it happening. It would probably cut down on fraudulent resumes and lying. It would also cover some overhead for the people doing the interviewing. I bet there are quite a few people out there today who would pay to interview and while yes, business often do need employees (not always), employees also need businesses and I think there are a lot of employees that exploit the businesses where they work.

Getting a job at Goldman Sachs, sometimes requires over 20+ interviews with different people. Imagining getting a job at McDonalds requiring 10 interviews.

Anyways… my IMO.

The screening process you have is a good one; however, it has its weaknesses. I don’t agree with Eric because charging for an interview is the stupidest thing in the world, but that’s because I don’t believe in exploiting people.

In the business world, an employee is a necessity to an employer just as much as an employer is a necessity to an employee. Therefore, I think that the interview is a necessity. Besides, that’s what a freaking resume is for. The employer readers it over and then decides whether or not to entertain an interview.

Now, on to your screening process. Here’s how you make it so that it works out in your benefit. “If I hire you, you will be compensated for these comments and all of that.” It makes it so that those that are actually good are not just throwing away work. It also means that you get some people who are good, but don’t do anything for free to apply for the gig.

I don’t believe in getting anything for free in this world whether it is an employer or employee. But hey…That’s just me.

I would keep screening the way you are screening. If people, like her are too lazy or self righteous to show some work and work ethic up front then why would you want them. She is a perfect example of 99% of the people on the web. They use it as an escape from reality. She is probably surfing the web waiting for Obama to make her life better, since she voted for him, while she complains about someone who is actually doing something. Also, who ever said life is fair? Why does she think it should not cost something to get something? In fact, maybe employers should charge people for interviews, sounds like a profit center and yes, businesses are operated to make money either for their owners or shareholders. If you don’t like that, move to China. I know a guy that charges prospective renters an application fee for his rental properties. He does it to make money, it works.

Is there a way to have a moderator block her from posting on your listing? Just ignore her it is a waste of time and energy.
