Exactly. I wish more young people had such values.

 

Are you assuming that this guy is young what information do u have to base ur statement. Or are u saying that because Slk320 chick is young and she has these values. I agree though that u must leave ur personal stuff at the door but yet applications at least some i have read do ask for hobbies and what u do in ur free time so were is the line to be drawn if this is all he does in his free time?

 

Yes, SLK320Chic. I have no idea how old the applicant is so I'm not comparing her values to his. I might call it "putting your best foot forward".
We all have habits that don't contribute to our effectiveness on the job, however an employer wants to know activities that exemplify generalized skills that apply to the position at hand. This is all part of being professional because when an employer hires anyone, it’s because they have a set of problems (or tasks) they need solved. One of the aspects of professionalism is to always comport oneself in a manner that solves those problems. So, when an applicant talks about behavior that will take away from their ability to solve the problems on an application, I assume it’s because they are either unwilling or can’t always “put their best foot forward� on the job.

 

... or, they simply don't want the job.

 

I guess it's time to clear something up. I think that, because of the spelling she chose, SLK320Chic is using the word "chic" and does not mean "chick." Chic is a lot classier than chick. Chic fits her well, IMO. Nevertheless, she did say once that she's a "beer chick," so I could be wrong... again.

So, Alyssa, which is it?

 

I never even noticed the spellng difference let along thought about it.

 

lol, oh Lord. Okay...the guy that applied for the job is 28 years old. Let me clarify that.

And my username...it's meant to be as Chic...aka, classy. It wasn't meant to be pronounced as Chick. Although I am still a beer chick.

 

wow that is a really honset applicant. i think i would call him back just to see if he was for real. but still why would somebody tell an employer that?
