it depends on the type of job but if a person's resume and references checked out, and i felt they were reliable and willing, i'd hire them. not all jobs need years of training but most need a good work ethic.
but as the job seeker - especially one needing a job PDQ - i'd try anything. retail may not be hiring permanent positions right now, but landscapers might be, or waiting tables. whatever - even if it's just somehting to bring in a pittance while i keep applying for the job i really want.
or if you want to stick with it, then take one of the seasonal jobs out there, even if it's just front counter. i worked in retail long enough to know that not all the seasonal employees have to leave after the season's over. i saw it as floor help and as a manager when i kept a few particularly good people on. |
