I struck a new low recently...

I had an interview with a 37 year old man about a week ago... normally, I would have thought nothing of it and feel that it is common.

However, what transpired during my talk with him really struck a chord inside me... the 37 year-old man actually cried during the interview when I asked him about his background and experience... the usual ass in me would have been laughing my head off and make all sorts of mean remarks and etc... but no... not this time...

I mean he had really irritating characteristics... so much so that I almost fell asleep and was on the verge of wringing his neck... but his brief and few drops of tears really shook me...

10 years apart... he being my senior... and the irony is that I am interviewing him for a position in my sales team and not vice versa. That was really awkward. The icing on the cake was the part when he teared when talking about the last job... and every 5 mins during our conversation, he would utter things like "I would really appreciate it if you would give me the opportunity to join the sales team and represent the company"...

at that very instant, I felt so shitty... cos he is totally not suitable to sell the services of my company... and so I knew I had to reject him...

People, don't take things for granted... NEVER NEVER take your family, friends, love, money, job, and etc for granted...

You really don't know what is in store for you ahead...
and I just got a glimspe of how things can end up... not a pretty picture...
