I guess I’m interrupting the normal “knowledge” that I try to impart to vent just a bit… it’s things like this that tell me why people have a hard time finding a job or maybe, in their hearts, don’t want to
Four times in the last two days, candidates… all of whom are out of work… have told me they can’t go on interviews next week because they’re going on… spring break… now these are solid, professional people, having earned in the mid-hundred thousands… all of them are out of work… one has been out of work for six months… one out of work for four months and the other two out of work for two months… they are really having a hard time finding a job…
Call it my dazzling skill or simply luck, but I got them all interviews for next week and they all told me they couldn’t go because they’re going on spring break… one of them is only 150 miles from Dallas and could easily come back to town one day of his interview… the lady that’s been out of work for six months has only had one interview in that whole time… the interview I got for her was for this coming Monday and she says she couldn’t postpone her trip in order to interview…
What is America coming to? Where are our work values? What happened to the work ethic that got this country where it was… I say “was” because, based on this very small sample of out of work candidates our country’s work ethic isn’t what it used to be… one of these guys is living on unemployment and borrowed money from his mother to take the family on spring break… you gotta be kidding me!
It’s really sad…
