What's ERAC's gimmick on this one? I just think it's awful of a company to make people do this and can't come up with any reasoning for doing so. |
I was interviewing for a Assistant Manager position and the ARM asked me what was one thinkg I would change and my answer was being able to wear something other than white because A) they show dirt more often from washing cars and b) because it is dull. His answer was this long drawn out conservative professional BS answer but then he asked me "What do you think people are thinking when they pull up to a branch and they see someone cleaning their car in a suit and tie?" My response was and I quote "They probably think those people have their resumes on Monster to be perfectly honest and if it is a prospective employee he/she is probably thinking there is no way I am doing this." Needless to say I did not get that spot. I would do it so my employees did not have to when I was an ABM and BM since I made more than them and could afford weekly dry cleaning and new shirts/ties.
