My company is doing a project in Ghana and we put an Ad in the paper for applicants to submit their CVs for aptitude testing, for 32 operations, maintenance and administrative positions at a power plant. In the first two days we have received over 1,000 applications.

We have rented a hall for it but it looks like we are going to have to do the screening in shifts to get through them all.

It might also show how limited good jobs.

No shortage of help wanted at low paying service jobs.

100's of the applicants are degreed engineers for the operating technician positions.

Expat package and overseas us citizen tax loophole but other than that I see little reason for engineers to leave us for overseas.
