Reply #27: I used to have to walk by the personnel office

[FlaGranny]

on the way to my office. I absolutely could not believe the way some young people, both black and white, came to a job interview. Dirty sneakers, unkempt hair, dreadlocks, stained t-shirts with logos on them, holey jeans, the works. They would come in and slouch (not sit) in the chair. And this in a hospital! I'm sure they went away from their interviews feeling sorry for themselves because they didn't get hired. These young people may have felt like victims, but they were their own worst enemies in job interviews. Some young people have never learned to present themselves well enough to get hired.
