What DO you say?


Guest

I have such a day at work ahead of me - I'm on deadline with a ton of projects and I'm still interviewing potential assistants. But - this blog isn't about work, it's about people and WHAT are they thinking?

 

So, yesterday a woman came in for an interview. Her resume looked ok - but, a lot of the jobs she had were at call centers. Now, I realize being a telemarketer has to be almost as fun as repeatedly bopping yourself on the head. And I'm sure you do little things un consciencely when you sit in a cubicle all day.

 

However, in the interview she removed her shoes? Ok, I'm not talking about sliding your feet out of a pair of sandals underneath the table here ... she took off her shoes and placed them next to her chair?!

 

Am I wrong, or is that something you just don't do in an interview?

 

We wrapped up the interview really quickly, ignoring the fact that she was now barefoot....I mean really, what Do you say?

 

*"Excuse me, but you must feel right at home because you've taken off your shoes"? -

*"Love the shoes but, please put them back on"? -

*"Please don't take off your clothes?"

 

What was she thinking? And what would you say? :uhm:

 

Seriously, I don't even remember the woman's name 8 hours later but, she made quite an impression on me by taking off her shoes.

Good question...what does one say? LOL... I can't wait to see the comments for this one. That was a bold move for her to remove her shoes. It definitely will leave an impression.

YOU WOULD ****THINK**** THAT WOULD BEAT ALL. I REMEMBER, HOWEVER, READING A DEAR ABBY OR ANN LANDERS OS SOMETHING LIKE THAT YEARS AGO ABOUT A SIMILAR THING.

 

THIS WOMAN TOOK OFF HER SHOES AND PANTY HOSE IN A JOB INTERVIEW AND STARTED CLIPPING HER TOENAILS!!!!!! OR SO THEY SAID, I FOUND IT UNBELIEVABLE.

 

I CAN NOT ****BELIEVE**** THAT WOMAN DID THAT! :yikes: DID YOU HIRE HER ANYWAY? HEY, IT TAKES GUTS TO BE A TELEMARKETER AND SHE CERTAINLY HAS GUTS TO DO THAT!!!!! :yukyukyuk: :yukyukyuk:

 

 

DID HER FEET STINK? WERE HER FEET PEDICURED OR ALL NASTY? INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW. LOL LOL

 

WHAT A SCREAM, THANKS FOR THE GOOD LAUGH. BTW, IF YOU HIRED HER, LET US KNOW HOW SHE AND HER BAREFEET DO. :Funny-Post:

I remember that Ann Lander column! I'll bet that the woman actually didn't want to get hired and did it for that reason. She probably was being required to apply for jobs to get off welfare or because her husband wanted her to get a job or something.

 

Vicki's applicant hasn't read Miss Manners yet. Unreal that people don't have anymore common sense than that at a job interview. :D

I would have had to ask......"UUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMM, (deep sigh) Where did you learn the rules to this game?" Are you sure she didn't do it for the sole purpose of being remembered out of all the other applicants?

Ok kids - it gets worse - OR I'm just really a prude! The candidate today had her nose and tongue pierced - 3 tongue "earrings" and one hoop in each nostril --- I could have lived with that ....

 

except on her arm she had a tattoo. I swear to God!

 

It said "Just friends" and then they was a graphic of two people "doing it!" ---

 

The woman who took off her shoes is looking better and better...

 

What Are people thinking these days!!! :yucky:

THATS THE PROBLEM VICKI, PEOPLE ARE ***NOT** THINKING!!!!! IT'S UNREAL. WAS THE TATOO CARTOON LIKE, OR REAL LIFE LIKE? WAS IT SAME SEX OR OPPOSITE? WAS IT READILY VISIBLE, OR DID SHE HAVE TO TAKE A SECOND SHIRT OFF WITH A TANK TOP UNDER. ?

 

SURELY THAT WOMAN ISN'T GOING THROUGH LIFE WITH THAT VISIBLE ON HER ARM!!! LOL. POOR VICKI. HOW MANY MORE DO YOU HAVE TO INTERVIEW?
