Wow: "...job(s) ...where STC membership is mandatory"?
Anything else required? Certification in Feng Shui?
Ownership of a specific model SUV? Master's degree in
Mixology? :-)
I don't have anything against the STC (though I'm not
currently a member) - but I can't imagine an employer
boxing themselves in like that. It's saying that unless
you drive a blue BMW, you need not apply. (I do, so
I'm Ok. Well... maybe "Ok" is pushing it. :b)
Frankly, I'd have to be pretty desperate for work before
I'd interview with an employer who's looking for STC
membership as a prereq for employment.
Any thoughts on _why_ this is a req. for those particular
opportunities? Or what the perceived benefit to the
employer is?
Just wondering.
