Best Hiring Story Ever*

 

(*Not including the crazy interview that my coworker Emily & I once did.  That was the All Time Insanely Best Hiring Story Ever)

 

 

Joseph has been job searching.

 

Yesterday he walked into a local donut shop.  He picked up an application and returned it later in the day.  The lady glanced at it for literally two seconds and told him to come back at 6am today wearing blue jeans and a white shirt.

 

Me: “Huh?”

 

Joseph: “That’s what she said.”

 

Me: “What?”

 

Joseph: “I think I have a job.”

 

Me: “It must be an interviewing tactic.  She probably gets a lot of questionable applicants, so this is her screen.  If someone can’t get to the interview on time, wearing what she told them to wear, then she can easily rule them out.”

 

Joseph: “Maybe.”

 

This morning he arrived there at 6am wearing blue jeans and a white shirt.

 

Joseph: “Is there an interview?”

 

Lady: “No, I looked at your application.”

 

Training consisted of a five minute introduction to the various coffee machines, and then they were busy, and he was working!

 

His coworkers were nice, the supervisor congratulated him on doing a good job, and he really liked it!

 

Me: “Soooo.. what’s next?”

 

Joseph: “She told me to be there at 6am tomorrow.”

 

Only Joseph.
