&gt; That candidates aren&#x27;t obsessed enough with a potential &quot;false positive&quot; hire where they end up working somewhere they don&#x27;t actually want to work. You can&#x27;t tell me that someone applying for 40 positions a week truly wants to work at all 40 of those places.<p>This sounds like a whole lot of blaming the candidate.   It also assumes that the candidate could even land one of those 40 positions in the first place.   I applied to a whole lot more before I landed mine - as did most of my peers now in our early-mid 20s who didn&#x27;t get swooped up in a career fair early on in the process.<p>You can&#x27;t really tell me that someone applying for a job _in the first place_ truly wants to work (instead of pursuing a passion they like) <i>period</i>.  More likely, the candidate doesn&#x27;t <i>want</i>(keyword) to work at <i>any</i> of those 40 places at all.   And here&#x27;s the kicker:<p><i>The candidate should not be faulted for that if he or she is competent at the job and works hard.</i><p>The modern age has shown a lot of workers being faithful to their companies and having that faithfulness be an expected one-way street.   Look at the firings of Disney and IBM Engineers.  The Disney engineers had to even educate their replacements at reduced salary.<p>I&#x27;d love to be spending all my days producing music and building native iOS apps, but that&#x27;s not how the world works.   So, I work somewhere I tolerate working, somewhere I work well.   And I count my blessings for it - not many millennials are as lucky as me.
