How Does Change Happen When Rules Remain Static? (the Job Hiring Process)

I wonder...I wonder what would happen if we started to give some people a chance, instead of writing them off on paper. How do we lift people out of poverty if we reserve the same jobs for the same people and why do we often bring in new people to do work that so many who are out of work and already available would love to try doing? I have heard employers say they have received 100 resumes for a specific job, and that none of the applicants meet the criteria, and I wonder, why is the criteria so hard, and did you even speak to one of those people? If the applicants are applying for jobs, surely they must think they can do the job! Or maybe some people are not applying because they have been turned away so many times before. Imagine if we hired people based on their willingness to try. Imagine if we asked for volunteers and we actually let the ones who were eager and who stepped forward try. It doesn't take long for someone who's heart is not in something to back away. I'd love to see an experiment run where random people are hired to work for a new company, not on experience, but on willingness, and see if they float or sink--my bets are, they would come out on top. They could be street people, people out of work for years, mentally ill people--everyone has potential and something to give, and God loves every single person (not always their behaviour).

And related to this, I created a wiki, which is a page geared specifically towards collaboration by many people, to come to ingenious answers--all are free to contribute: One Vision Wiki
