So I went to a county job fair recently as moral support of a friend in need of a new job. He’s got a family on the way and is, rightfully, scared sh*tless. While he was speaking with one recruiter, another approached me and asked what industry I was in and what kind of job I was seeking.
I politely informed him that though I was not a “vendor”, I was not searching for a job, but searching for a few employees- as the companies/booths I’d seen there offer jack sh*t (they did) and I could use the kind of motivated people who attend job fairs in my small business. The dude looked spooked. Maybe I was accidentally on to something?
In reality, I do not own a business. I am not poaching potential employees and I really had no business entertaining him as I was serving a purpose of encouragement for my friend (who btw got 2 offers from this fair- I’m not sure if he’ll take either bc like I said… they offer jack). But the look on this man’s face brought me joy and I thought maybe some of the fine folks here could use this in some way, I hope you can. Most of you are far more creative than I am.
If “they” can play dirty games and pay dirty lawyers with dirty money to get their desired results via dirty laws at a fraction of what it should cost, I don’t see why we should play a rigged game. Lie. They do.
