Those were some hilarious anecdotes. The one about the stench of doom (hiring manager had to cut interview short because of overpowering perfume) was not as funny, but a good point to learn from. I was once working at an employment agency and one of the recruiters was talking about how she had to tell her client to take a shower or else he’d never land a job. It’s a tough job to be so straightforward with people, but in the end I think it’s advice that would be appreciated.
Thanks, your comments will certainly resonate with a lot of people. Some things which are obvious to most people are sometimes lost on others. I once had a young man come up to our booth at the National Job Fair and say, “I want to work at the Library – what kind of job can’the Library give me?”
