The Perfect Candidate, By Mark Tulin
27/9/2019
Simon was enthusiastic, made eye contact, and asked all the right questions during the interview. He was sweating profusely, but his body language said that he wanted to work for our department store. He seemed to be the perfect candidate.
Once he began, however, he was not very cooperative or energetic. He became snarky and disrespectful to the customers, failed to keep the shelves neat and racks of clothing organized. It reached a point where his presence triggered animosity. And when he killed our top regional manager with a coat hanger, we knew that we had to let him go.


Oh, man…a read for HR Managers when interviewing potential candidates. Yikes! I know it’s fictional, but these days, you just don’t know.
Truly.
Hahaha – yeah! 😀
