The last two people I have hired at my shop to do basic phone calls, faxing, and general paperwork lack the basic skills that I take for granted.
Both these people have been mostly homeschooled Christian HS graduates. Watching them try to make a long distance phone call has cracked me up. They don't know to dial a 1 before a long distance call. Then after I teach them that they try to dial 1 plus area code even for long distance calls. One of them tried faxing a paper for 30 minutes then came to me saying it was not working and again I had to explain to dial 1 first.
