In this unit we read about the idea of JCM – job competition model/sorting that expands on the screening theory. In this model individuals with the most impressive credentials land at the top of the queue and are matched with the most sought after jobs. If there are too many highly credentialed people in line, some may be shifted down the food chair, allowing the employer to fill all the vacancies. This results in the less qualified contenders being shuffled to the bottom of the deck.
Our professor argues that we have become “credential happy” (guilty, as charged). Whether you agree this approach to “keeping up with the neighbors” game is appropriate or not, it is very real, and not likely to be abandoned any time soon.
Respectfully,
Mary Lynn McPherson, PharmD, MA, BCPS, CDE, CPE, FAPhA, FASHP, FASCP, FASPE, MOUSE (ok, I made that last one up!).
