Skills Shortage or Inflated Job Requirements?

Skills Gap: We started The Skills Gap series with last week's The Hiring Paradox. This week's issue is dedicated to the topic. We begin with a must-read post from China Gorman called Skills Shortage or Inflated Job Requirements?. We continue with John Sumser's posts Skills Gap 2: Outsourcing, and Skills Gap 3: The Pace of Change. We finish the series with Five Links: Skills Shortage – Skills Gap. While unrelated to the Skills Gap series you'll want to read Heather Bussing's wonderful article on dealing with fear and anxiety - Good at Terrified.
