Well, interestingly enough, my first couple of days has been helping them hire on the rest of the people they'll need for the company.
I've now learned that it's amazing how many people will apply for a job, and ignore a simple requirement that you have in the posting. Better yet, the apps that are all "I saw this requirement, I just figured it wasn't worth it to do that."By popular request....I am now officially the Enemy of Normalcy.

I wish I could say I'm surprised at that, but I can't. It's amazing just how many people don't read the requirements on a job posting..."If your day is filled with firefighting, you need to start taking the matches away from the toddlers…” - HM

It's funny, if I see a want ad online and I see a bullet point with something required, that I don't have (like say, a BA)...
I don't apply.
How hard is it to read?

And yet, I get 55 words, 70 words, 100 words, 150.....
I had TWO people hit the word count and , and that was IT. Out of like, thirty or so applications.By popular request....I am now officially the Enemy of Normalcy.

Under most circumstances, I'd consider 100-150 words "close enough" to 125. That's if the 125 is a target, and not a max/min.
Unless they're applying to become copywriters, where I assume maintaining an exact word count is part of the job. Which, given the field you're working in, is possible.
Interestingly enough, I once submitted four pages for a ten-page essay. I got the highest mark in the class.

Copy/content writer job, yep. Exact word counts are a biiiig thing with these guys. Its how they get paid, in fact....per hundred words. Which is why I cringed at how many just flat out ignored the requirement.By popular request....I am now officially the Enemy of Normalcy.

I shouldn't think it would be that hard to BS and get to the word count, didn't everyone do that in high school?
