I continued my search for a new company.
I was looking for an experienced Heating plus A/C tech to labor in the repair shop. I had a stack of applications, however only a handful of qualified candidates. I interviewed many candidates while in the process. I was hoping someone would stick out in the crowd plus then I met with Jack! Jack had a ton of experience plus he was still young plus healthy. He was perfect for the Heating plus A/C repair business. He had many years laboring in a commercial Heating plus A/C repair repair as well as a couple of years of military background. I interviewed Jack plus all of us talked for nearly an hour. At no time while in the interview did the guy mention the fact that he has a criminal record. It would not have been a deal-breaker for me, if he would have mentioned the problem while in the interview. When I found out through a criminal investigation, I was very frustrated. I told Jack that I was not going to be able to hire him plus I stated the exact reason why. He understood my reasons. I told the guy that he could apply again next year if he still needed a job. I continued my search for a new company. I ended up hiring a lady with three years experience. Her resume did not look nearly as nice as Jack’s, although she didn’t have a criminal history plus more than one felonies on her record. I really hope the guy will apply again next year. He seemed love a wonderful candidate for the job plus I would be willing to supply him a try.
