Been a long time
I thought I'd share my favorite Recruiting stories thus far:
I've been a Recruiter for Enterprise for a few months now and I have to say it is RICH fodder for short stories (especially my Part Time hires):
Today the HR Manager at work got a phone call. It went a little something like this:
"This is **** How may I help you?"
"This is *** *** from Branch ## and I'm having a problem..."
"Ok, what is it?"
"Well the thing is, my Parole Officer told me that everytime I cross the DC line I'm breaking the law!!"
"Uh huh..."
"Yeah, so what should we do?"
"Well...um....why do you have a Parole Officer"
"That is something I don't wish to disclose at this time"
"Yeah...I'm gonna need to know what happened. Are we talking felony here or misdemeanor?"
" **chuckle** I'd rather not disclose"

Last Question on the Job Application:
Have you ever been charged with a Felony?
YES
If "yes" please explain.
It was all a big misunderstanding. My Wife left her handgun in my car.

"Yeah. I mean, maybe I could do tomorrow or something."
