And closed nostriled, and closed earlobed, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmom Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I've never had to interview. However, I've been the interviewer many times. I'm not sure that there was a time that the appearance of the resume' ever really made much of an impact on me. While I'm not allowed to ask, I tried to determine if they were a smoker, because if it came down to it, and 2 were equal, I'd choose the non-smoker. I hired on communication skill more than anything else I suppose. I went off the reservation once, hired a chick because she was substantially hotter than the other candidate that I was considering. She had the personality of a pair of scissors and I told her it didn't work out after 2 weeks, and thankfully the other girl was still available and I hired her and she was a terrific employee. Yep, shallow Hal. Learn your lesson? I've been forced by my HR director and GM in a previous job to hire based upon looks and it always turned out disasterously. Most jobs require more than looks to execute well. Not that those with looks can't do a job well. But if the interview doesn't yield a satisfactory feeling that the good looking person can do the job, why hire them over a less good looking person?

To have something to look at when you're bored? :idunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had a job where I had the luxury of being bored. :idunno: Always something to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, I learned over a 2 week period that she was sharp as a bowling ball. However, I've hired hot tomales in the past who have been stellar. It's not like every hot chick is a small fry shy of a happy meal. However, this one was missing the fries, burger and the drink. She was toy only.

ThrillVille Cardinal51 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Welp, maybe it made it easier for me to find a job out of college. Anything that sets me apart from others looking for a job is good imo. I don't understand how you can go into an interview not dressed nice. Rule of thumb, wear something that is at least one step nicer than what you'd wear to work every day. I've never had a job interview where I didn't land the job.

spindoc Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I expressly stated that not all good looking people aren't capable. I read that. And you expressly started with " learn your lesson?". I'm not that slow on the uptake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was toy only. Was that toy designed for ages 35 and up? And most importantly, was it a boy toy or a girl toy or both???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
