Missy: Okay, let's sort this stack of applications into three piles: good candidates, those worth a second look, and definite “no's.”

Jonathan: Well, that didn't take long. With this poor economy, I thought we'd get an embarrassment of riches, but these applications are pretty pathetic. I only see two of these people as employee material.

Missy: Yeah, well, it might have something to do with the salary we're offering. Not everybody is willing to work for peanuts.

Jonathan: Isn't that the truth! Some of these applicants have never held down a job before and don't have a single reference. These others don't seem to be able to hold on to a job, job-hopping every few months.

Missy: Well, at least we have these two standouts. They both have the right educational background and level of experience. Should we call them in for interviews?

Jonathan: Yeah, and I hope they haven't already been snatched up by another company.
