…i call my client and present a excellent candidate…my client starts laughing and say, “oh, yea i know him..no way…yea, his background is perfect but i wouldn’t hire him on a bet..”
so, i say..”can you tell me why?”
he says…”yea…after i got out of college for a number of years i was a bartender at a very upscale restaurant in dallas…i got into this company seven years ago…but i tended bar before that…”
“this guy you sent me use to bring clients to our place…spend lots of money buying drinks and dinners for them as well as lots of his different women…but, no matter how well we treated him, he would hardly ever tip…i mean hardly ever…and when he did, it was an insult…we hated to see him come it…all fancy and a big shot…but didn’t treat us right…”
“so, i figure he’d mistreat others when he didn’t have to be nice…so i’m going to pass…he’s an empty suit…won’t hire him”
…lesson speaks for itself
