Shortest Inteview ever for me
The interview was scheduled much like all others at this youth training center. The applicant was interested in a job doing shift work with the students after school. In the usual fashion the security guard at the gate called me to tell me he was bringing someone down and could I verify the appointment first. I acknoweldged the scheduled interview, only this time the securiy guarde told me he would be escorting the applidcant to my office. When I asked why, he told me the gentleman was 'packing more than one weapon' and that I could meet with him but he would stay there and escort him back to his vehicle when we were finished. The weapon/s had been cofiscfated at the guard shack so I was fine with him coming in. (Curious as all get out but fine) As the HR manager at that time I had scenarios but this was my first!
When he was brought to my office I saw a large man with more hair on his head than I have seen sinced Woodstock and a beard longer than Granpa Elliot. He wore a Tshirt that was too short and that huged his large upper body and completed his interview ensemble with very old and dirty jeans. When he sat down after a few pleasntries I told him it was my understanding that he had brought a weapon with him and was he aware that weapons of any kind training facility for youth' to which he replied "I never aclearly stated that packing weapons to an interview working with adolescents was jot acceptable and said in parting that guns and knives are not like American
