You Should Have Seen....

the person who came in late yesterday to apply for a job. We were officially closed, but hadn't locked the door so we gave her an application and told her we would route it to HR.

She was wearing black gaucho pants with a teal STRAPLESS top.... with a regular bra - not a strapless bra. She was wearing makeup more suited for evening with heavy eyeliner.

After she left we stuck a one word note on the application for Monica, who works in HR, which said "dress". Monica saw her come in and wanted us to stick the reminder on there.

We glanced at the application before routing it - she was referred by a current employee who doesn't work on-site but is in regularly for paperwork, gas cards, and keys. That employee shows up wearing pajama bottoms 90% of the time. Sometimes with the band dropped below her belly while wearing a shirt that doesn't cover her belly. What a sight!

That also reminds us on the person who came in one time to apply for CFO. He was wearing SHORT skin tight gym shorts. Of course he didn't get the job. Remember - when you go in to apply for a job... dress the part and be nice to the people who take the applications. They may be jotting things on sticky notes for HR.
