Seeking energetic self motivated person to read blog

Venture over to Craigslist, go to the job section, and try clicking on some of the jobs they have listed... Orange County Residents click here

Go ahead I'll wait.......

How many times did you read some variation of the following?

"In this industry, you HAVE to be extremely self-motivated to succeed. If you are energetic, driven, and a self-motivated individual, then we are looking for you! "

Has anyone in the history of the United States of America been hired at a place that was not looking for a person who is self-motivated, driven, and energetic? Is everyone in this country energetic and driven? What happens to millions of workers in this country who are not happy with their job or career? Does working cause them to be the reverse of those requirements for EVERY job in America? Maybe there is a problem with the system and not the workers?! And honestly do you expect someone to be self motivated and driven if they work at Del Taco or Taco Bell? Agreeing to work at Taco Bell already means you are aiming just high enough not to land in the dirt but just low enough to still see the rats running around the carne asada stuffed grilled burritos.

If only people in hiring positions would explain how THEIR business makes employees want to work hard, try to move up, and be happy to go to work each day in these ads. I think they would get alot more bites.
