Human Resources...resourced, and out.

Occupational Otherwise Occupied Guidance... 

On Hold, getting old: And you thought YOU waited on hold, had your application sent "upstairs...for further consideration" Now, as Mr. Paul Harvey used to intone...you're going to hear the rest of the story...

Protracted Personnel Postponement: As to why, you haven't heard back...in what used to be measured as "quite some time" whereas current aspirants curiously mention "in a minute"...In either case means, "take a number..." As it's a...

Long Line: One of the oldest excuses in the book, the one that serves mostly the occupant (also designated, signified as "on red", waiting for green, after which the door swings open so you can finally go...) -- as well as those late arrivals..."a long line at the checkout, gas station, checkpoint at the border..." 

In-valid: Take it any way you want, whether as a commentary on the applicant now, in the UK version, a "pensioner" or the excuses as to why the now septarian, finally received word back, just shy of 50 years later, after the post office found, then returned the unreturned letter, stuck behind a drawer (now that would be a novel excuse, for the school aged out there)...Fill in the blank space...  

Adding Insult..."Complete the sentence..." A common 'question' posed to not only job applicants, but also through the years, known as a "projective" in our more professional field of personality assessment...assuming that such a forced, quick response would be a projection of their inner state, what they might otherwise hold back...revealing...the contents...

Injurious: What potential employers are no longer allowed to ask, at least directly...and instead find out via various so-called "exercises", assignments, some of which are of the extemporaneous, as in minimal prep, no looking up on whatever search engine the applicant has at, on, their hand, or those allowing them more time..."to stew" over it, overnight...as in...

Case, in point: Whether in the "case law" section of the HR course of what in the future might be used to determine not only fault but added as "punitive damages" on behalf of one Tizi Hudson, who initially applied for a job as a motorcycle stunt driver, in 1976...not hearing back...went out and...

Breaking, gladly: After a time of rejection, dejection, being a natural daredevil, went on to be a snake handler, horse whisperer, aerobatic pilot, as well as a flight instructor...breaking records, new ground, and a few bones along the way...now we’re talking over-qualified!

No Thanks: As in no thanks to those who had originally intended to write her a "thanks, but not thanks" kind of letter -- the article I read did not spill, nor spell out the entire contents, no doubt in anticipation of a "best seller" in the works, to be made into a smash hit...movie...talk about working me into a Tizi!

Value Added: Ad-vice from a professional personnel prospector...that only comes from a wealth, of (others) experience: while patience is indeed still considered a virtue among applicants, so is polite, pesky, persistence - "...if you don't mind could I just take a peek in, and behind, your drawers...?"😊 

Hired Resistance...over and out.

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
