Want to make a really bad first impression with a potential employer?

Show up at 4:30 in the afternoon on a Monday, on a holiday week, with no appointment, not know the name of the company you're at and ask for specific information about projects and ask for a tour.

 

 

Yeah... that didn't go so well for the young fellow.

 

I thought it showed initiative :(

 

Also you dress funny.

It struck you wrong because it is wrong. That's not initiative, it is ignorant, and presumptuous.

I had a feeling you'd feel that way. :)

I wasn't rude to him but I made it clear that he would be getting no tour or much info.

If you're genuinely interested in what we do, call or email me and I'd gladly make time (at my convenience) to give you some info even if we're not hiring (we're not).

I'm just not much on being interrupted. Whether you're selling something or what... Call me and if I'm interested I'll let you know. Better yet, email me... A local IT company sent me an email solicitation recently, and not only did they get a meeting with me, they've done over $3000 worth of business with us since.

We're a small company yes... And our door is open, but my time is valuable... Would you expect to walk in a large company and immediately talk to the CEO in person? No, you'd make an appointment or talk to HR first...

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
