I called a guy in for an interview for my staffing company.... He showed up in filthy sweat pants... an even dirtier teeshirt...holes everywhere and... slippers! As if that was not bad enough... when I left the room to get supplies... he went to sleep! And I mean he was sleeping good! I woke him and he said.... "sorry, I was so sleepy, I figured you would'nt mind a short nap"! I asked him if he had a medical condition, I know there are conditions that cause that for some. He assured me he was just tired! He said "you called me in too early".....it was 12:30 in the afternoon!

Don't be too quick to judge. Maybe he needs help. Maybe he is homeless or maybe he is going through a rough patch in his life. Did you see the recent movie with Will Smith?
He might need some re-training on how to go to an interview. Many of us take it for granted that we know how to act and dress for an interview. Some others need a little more help.
Let's not point fingers and help each other out.
I hope you give him a chance and find him a place to work. Thanks for the post.

That's awful and I think he gives everyone of us who are looking for a job or are in a job and searching for a better one a bad name. I feel that a bad experience like that one often makes employers apprehensive and are less likely to give someone a chance unless they know them or unless they have like resumes a mile long proving what they have done in the past. It makes it hard for young people just starting out.
