Hiring employees
 
We are in the process of hiring probably 4-5 new employees in addition to 1-2 new supervisors. Let me say that I am so glad that I have no responsibilities when it comes to hiring them. By the way some act, or talk, you would think that we should feel lucky that we have them in for them to think about our position.

In the last two days, we have had:

- 1 came in dressed as if they just got out of bed. Literally wearing flannels, sweatshirt, and slippers.

- 1 saying as soon as the interview started: "Let me tell you MY availability. I won't work any Saturdays/Sundays/Mondays, but I want full time hours."

- When asked about previous employers, literally cursed their names and used vulgar language in reference to them. Going so far as to call one a "Sl*t A$$ Whore" to the person interviewing them.

In the past, we have had people bring their kids with them to interviews. What is wrong with people? Do they not understand that first impression for a potential employer is important?

Anyone else got any dumb people stories?

For God's sake man, what position are you hiring? Where do you get your recruits, Crack houses?

I just interviewed 14 people for a position I had and I was ULTRA impressed with the candidates that applied. The Universitites are turning out good folks from where I sit.

Two new hires in 2008 are doing very well.

Maybe it's their leader ;)

We have had some very good applicants. I'm just talking about a small minority. But you would think that a little common sense would tell someone to dress appropriately, don't make demands when it's YOU that needs a job, and to not talk that negatively about past employers.

I have had similar stories...not showing up dressed like the ones you mentioned but the hour thing and dissing the previous emplouyer....those interviews lasted about 5 minutes. I told them right then and there they are not what I am looking for.

Saulbadguy 01-09-2009 10:21 AM
I've always been amazed at the people that get passed screening for an interview.

Common sense hasn't been taught in the education system for nearly 75 years... it's a rare attribute these days...

runnercyclist 01-09-2009 10:25 AM
After those three interviews my next conversation would be with my HR hiring recruiter.

jspchief 01-09-2009 10:25 AM
On the opposite side of the spectrum, I remember an interview I had where the interviewer made some crack about me being over-dressed (black pants, white dress shirt, tie).

My reply was "yea, sorry about taking this opportunity too seriously".

No shit. We are a smaller company (30+ employees). We don't require suit & tie type attire, simply a nice pair of jeans & appropriate shirt type attire. Dress for the position that you want.

I knew it would be asked eventually....so, yes, I know the field has something to do with it, but it shouldn't matter if you are looking for work. So...a little about our business.

My wife & I own an inbound only call center - no telemarketing. We have over 600 customers nationwide and answer roughly 75,000 calls per month.

Garcia Bronco 01-09-2009 10:35 AM
I am in the technology field and when people interviewed me a year ago they were suprised I was wearing a suit and tie. I told them it amazed me too when I kept getting job offers.

Chiefnj2 01-09-2009 10:39 AM
1 saying as soon as the interview started: "Let me tell you MY availability. I won't work any Saturdays/Sundays/Mondays, but I want full time hours."

At least this person was up front and honest. Better than someone pretending they will work whenever but then when you need them problems arise.

Mr. Plow 01-09-2009 10:44 AM
While I agree to an extent because going through an interview would have been a waste of time, it all depends on how bad you need a job.

Likely doing the interview to keep up with unemployment requirements.

There aren't 2nd chances to make a first impression....

Depending on the job.... If you show up in suit, shows you care enough to make that first impression.

WANTED: The Dude

Funny story. When I was applying for a wireless networking position at Harley Davidson I showed up dressed in my best duds and the recruiter sent me home telling me to put on jeans, steel toe boots and a polo shirt.

I was hired 30 days later.

I would rather have someone come in over dressed and be able to tell them that if they are hired, you don't have to dress that nicely than to have someone come in and worry that they even have the clothes required for the job.

sedated 01-09-2009 11:03 AM
I wish some of the dumbfuks I work with now had shown up in pajamas for their interview.

Apparently their sense of responsibility ended the minute they were shown their desk.

So since your customers will never see the operators, what do you care if they come in dressed as if they just got out of bed?


Just askin..

I can't speak for him, but I'd imagine he thinks that since they came in looking like they just rolled out of bed, they're likely not going to take the job seriously.

Those kind of jobs typicall pay like 8 or 9 bucks an hour, isn't that about right? My friend works at a call center everytime she comes home from college and I think she gets like 9.50 an hour or something like. I think it has some influence on how seriously they take the interview, but it just depends on their characer. I mean, my dad always raised me to take any job interview seriously, no matter what the pay or what the job is. There has been a couple jobs where I did not wear a tie to the interview, but dressed nicely. I think their attire should show you what they think of the job, but it depends on how they answer your questions. Most people these days think somebody owes them something, and they can say anything they want and still get the job. It's sad, but America has a lot of bums.

i was part of a mass hire at one point...

we were going into a new market and had to hire 200-250 people.

Correct. In our town starting out $8-$9/hour is about average for jobs - not careers. We are trying to get our starting wage up to attract a better employee, but it still seems to bring in some of the above type applicants.

Personally, I think our location has something to do with some that apply, but I can't convince the powers that be to move the office....even though as the person in charge of all the computers/servers/equipment, it would be hardest on me.

It was always a win win with me. I didn't want to work at a place that judged the way I looked, and they didn't want me.

Ah, call center employees. I used to install phone equipment in them, a short list of the types I saw:

* Giant (400lbs+) and smelly (lots)
* Sitting around talking about their current/ex boyfriend instead of working (lots)
* The gum chewer
* The token man (usually also the one that had figured out a way to game the reporting system to make it look like he was busier than he was)

My favorite three all came from the same overnight crew in the same call center, though. They had a dude with a (no s**t) bone in his nose. It was plastic or something, but it was probably three inches long. Then there was the girl who thought she was a vampire. Couldn't stay for training after the shift because she had to get home before the sun came up, which she told us very loudly like we were dips**ts for not seeing and respecting her vampire-ness. Then there was the guy who was beet red and covered in acne who's cube looked like a miniature GNC store. I'd rank them in order of crazy, but I wouldn't know where to begin.

ROFL

We've seen our share. But since we bought out another company a couple years back, we've raised our standards.

MOhillbilly 01-09-2009 11:45 AM
the 'my opinion matters' crowd goes hand in hand with the 'i dont listen' 'you owe me something' 'i cant do two things a once' crowd.

but its a call center mr. plow you should expect this kinda shit. duh.

Mr. Plow 01-09-2009 11:59 AM
I wouldn't go so far as to say I should expect it. I know that turnover is part of the business and we luckily don't have a ton of it.

Every job I've applied for - whether it was washing dishes at Applebee's, working at Best Buy, etc - I treated the person interviewing me with respect by showing up acting like I wanted a job......as I'm sure most on here have regardless of the position.

QFT but id actually say that their hiring practices are failing or their HR dept isnt doing its job (meaing adding NO VALUE to the company).

if your targeting the right people and they can keep them satisfied then you shouldnt have high turnover.

people complain about high turnover in callcenters and always point blame at the nature of the job as a reason. i say they are NOT hiring the right type of employee for that job and as such they have high turnover.

I would agree.

Like I said earlier, our turnover is not very high. Out of 30 employees only 5-6 have been here less than one year. 10+ have been with us for 3+ years.

Our hiring now is not because of turnover, but because of growth.

As a general rule of thumb. Its better to overdress then otherwise.

Call centers are not the ideal job, but I've stumbled upon:

Owning my own business
Setting my own hours with the opportunity to do things with my kids that other jobs wouldn't allow
Making enough money to keep my impulse buying up
Play enough golf that I'll have a heart attack by the time I'm 40

It's not a glamorous position, but I've got enough money to do what I want to do and I get to spend the time with my kids.

With the way the world is right now, it's good to just have a job.

You'll need to move to North Dakota. Of course the commute time will be roughly 10 hours each way.

Plus to do practice interviews with someone who knows what to do and what not to do/or say helps if you are out of the looking for a job business for a while.

I've seen resumes that look way over done and some that are horrendous.

THEY'RE RIGHT OUT OF BED AND STRAIGHT TO THE OFFICE. IT'S CLEAR THAT THIS PERSON HAS THEIR PRIORITIES ALIGNED PROPERLY! YOU'LL NEVER HAVE ATTENDANCE PROBLEMS WITH THIS DEDICATED WORKER. PLUS, HERE'S SOMEONE WHO APPEARS CASUAL BUT REALLY IS ALL BUSINESS, WHICH GIVES YOUR COMPANY A HUGE ADVANTAGE WHEN YOU SEND THIS PERSON TO INTERFACE WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS AND/OR COMPETITORS ON A DAILY BASIS. YOU SHOULD REALLY RECONSIDER HIM/HER AT ONCE!


- 1 saying as soon as the interview started: "Let me tell you MY availability. I won't work any Saturdays/Sundays/Mondays, but I want full time hours."


NOW THIS PERSON IS ONE WHO IS WELL-ORGANIZED AND WILLING TO WORK ANY AND ALL HOURS DURING A 4-DAY PERIOD. BESIDES...AND LET'S BE REALISTIC HERE...NOBODY WORKS ON ANY MONDAY OF THE TRADITIONAL 5-DAY WORK WEEK. SO REALLY YOU'RE GETTING A GEM HERE -- SOMEONE WHO'LL DO 40 HOURS OF ACTUAL WORK WHILE EVERYONE ELSE IS GETTING AWAY WITH PERFORMING ONLY 32 HOURS OF WORK PER WEEK. LET'S JUST HOPE YOU'RE ABLE TO SHOW SOME HUMILITY HERE BY CALLING THIS PERSON BACK, APOLOGIZING, AND OFFERING HIM/HER AN ABOVE-AVERAGE SALARY AND DOING WHATEVER ELSE IT TAKES TO STEAL THIS PERSON FROM ALL OTHER EMPLOYERS.


- When asked about previous employers, literally cursed their names and used vulgar language in reference to them. Going so far as to call one a "Sl*t A$$ Whore" to the person interviewing them.


UNBELIEVEABLE!! HERE YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHO'S NOT ONLY UPFRONT BUT HONEST TO BOOT! TELL ME: WHO WAS THE LAST U.S. PRESIDENT YOU COULD SAY THAT ABOUT?? AND DON'T BE AFRAID THAT THIS PERSON WILL SOON BE REFERRING TO YOU AS A MOTHER***IN' A$$WIPE. YOU WOULD BE WISE TO ENSURE YOUR BOSS IS AROUND WHEN THIS PERSON EMPLOYS HIS/HER DESCRIPTIVE REFERENCES REGARDING YOU...NOT ONLY COULD IT RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE PROMOTION OR AT LEAST BONUS IN SALARY FOR YOU BUT MOST LIKELY WILL INSTANTLY IMPROVE YOUR REPUTATION AND STANDING WITH YOUR FELLOW GAWD*** S**T-EATIN' C***-SUCKIN' SUPERVISORS/MANAGERS.

no, was for 5 years in Dallas area, after moving to St. Louis, the wife at the time didn't want me to be a cop anymore, so in the spirit of compromise I sold office product, recruited doctors/then CPA's, and now in am in Corporate Security. I did just put in an application to a local department, NOT the metro of St. Louis (I already served my country in third world areas, thank you very much)
