The expectation of Entry Level seems to escape some HR departments like they really don't care what they are typing....
what is precision use of a 'mousing' anyway????? ???? ???? ??? ???? ???? ?????ÿ
?ÿ

i would guess HR had left out the qualifier;?ÿ you can substitute three years of casual mousing, for one year of precision mousing.?ÿ I have no idea
Mousing??ÿ Sounds kind of cheesy to me.
The expectation of Entry Level seems to escape some HR departments like they really don't care what they are typing...
To be fair...
This is 50% on the "management" of the department/division that has the opening either abdicating or not knowing what their management level job entails, and
50% on senior company "leadership" for failing to either hire the correct person to run their departments, or failing to provide the leadership and mentorship to allow them to excel in their role.?ÿ?ÿ
Fair. Most organizations are similar and the culture of hiring has gone way off the deep end.?ÿ
The HR department has become a protect the interests of the company by protecting it from the employees mentality.

It used to be four years under a certified mouser, but they changed it to a four year degree in mousing prior to becoming a registered mouser. Savy? ?????ÿ
A year of GIS tech experience and/or 15 hrs of GIS classes leaves most folk about as clueless as if they hadn't had any of it at all. I think "entry-level" accurately describes the poor person who would be applying for such a job.
That job description is unfortunate. Someone in HR just copy and pasted a veritable word salad of phrases to come up with whatever non-job this is supposed to describe. The best that can be hoped for is that you wind up with some clueless kid who doesn't fall asleep the first day and lose whatever lame stainless coffee mug they give them for showing up.
This would be terrifying if I still worked at a place that hired this type of culture.
Then they ask:?ÿ What is your spirit animal?
My humble and openly honest opinion is that anything entry level is someone who has no experience, a highschool diploma or GED, and is ready to learn.
Any other experience disqualifies entry level, esp if you have several years of anything.
Entry level neurosurgeon, has 8 years post highschool then a 7 year residency program. So I wonder how the HR people deal with that.....
