Um…can I be a dick here and offer some advice?

Since when do you ask permission to be a dick?

Thats why I posted it, asshole.

 

[skidadl]

I was going to follow up my post with an offer for critique but I couldn’t edit it in time.

 

[boozeman]

Thats why I posted it, asshole.

Fine. Jesus Christ, man.

Lookit, it is too fancy, okay?

I can offer my services to rewrite this for you for a small fee.

 

[boozeman]

So I finally got off my lazy ass and updated my resume and have been toe-dipping.

Based on the interviews I have had, I am getting MASSIVELY underpaid.

Salaries are like real estate prices right now. Get’em while you can.

 

[Sheik]

Also most people can do better than Chick Fil A if they really wanted to.

You have more confidence in humans than I do.

 

[boozeman]

Yeah, I have noticed that recently. It used to be a deal back in the day to demonstrate job stability.

Now you are a goober if you stay longer than a couple of years somewhere chasing the dollar.

But yeah, it kind of pisses me off that I am that underpaid.

 

[boozeman]

Also most people can do better than Chick Fil A if they really wanted to.

Thing is, Chick Fil A doesn't hire your average dumb ass.

I don't know how they do that shit, but they somehow get people to come to work and perform well.

I can honestly say I have never ever had poor customer service at a location.

It might take longer, due to customer congestion, but that's not their issue.

Skid...I love ya like a brother.

I am going to have a difficult conversation with you and I hope you will not get offended.

First, who wrote this? If it is you, I will be happy to offer you advice. If this is someone who works for you, I suggest you fire them immediately.

There are some words in there like "winsome" that have no place in a job posting.

Jargon that is too company specific turns off applicants in a big way. Your job titles should be vague enough to attract interest and the whole idea is to get as much response as possible and be very specific about how you want to disqualify applicants.

I have no goddamn idea what an "integrator" is.

So damn important.

 

[boozeman]

So damn important.

That is not something you put in a job posting unless you want to scare off about 99% of the applicants.

 

[Cotton]

That is not something you put in a job posting unless you want to scare off about 99% of the applicants.

Having the verbal skills to resolve or help things by just talking instead of having authority over them is so damn important. Middle management is best at this.

Well maybe you're just not winsome enough.

I feel like I'm reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

Thanks for stating the obvious. It still is not something that is common in job postings.

 

[boozeman]

I am definitely not "winsome".

I did not write it but I fully support it.

We got a several qualified applicants and hired a great prospect.

Integrator is an EOS or “Traction” term. Running my business using this operating system has been the single most powerful thing I have ever done in my career. Most founder/entrepreneurs struggle with the same things: lack of clarity in roles and responsibilities, being overcomplicated, too many opportunities, lack of focus and a whole lot more. In my world, it is extremely common to feel the pains of growing a business. Using EOS has really helped. Like, a lot.

I respect a traditional approach to things and acknowledge the goodness of that. We are not that though. We are a small entrepreneurial operation that loathes corporate bs.

I’ve been at this for 17 years. About 6 years ago I had a meltdown and trashed everything. I took a while to get my life together and rebooted. For the last 5 years we did:

200k oh shit I’m broke
1.7m I’m tired
2.1m why am I stuck?
4.2m liiiiitle outta control
7.1m Jesus take the wheel!

We are endeavoring to exponentially grow over the next 5 years but we are still very much a small operation.

I got no problem with your view of the JD. Matter of fact, I welcome it. Winsome is a gay ass word, so I’m not hurt at all

Jeez, @skidadl, you should be proud of yourself. Building a company to that level is no easy task.
