I once had a scrawny little 16 year old kid walk on to my job looking for some summer work.

I said to him, "Sure, just fill this out and get back to me."

I then handed him my shirt.

Always hire at least 1 small scrawny guy. Here's why!! Try getting that overweight, or bulky body builder type in an attic or crawlspace.
Little guy's are h*ll on pulling wire and plumbing.

fireguy

my job application has a page titles "Honesty Policy" specifically stating " You get one chance to lie to me. If you use that chance, I will fire you. If we are working out of town, how you get home is your problem"

One applicant called me on the phone and told me he did not understand the honesty policy. I did not ask if he read the Theft Policy on the next page. His next question was if had been in jail, did I want to know? Somtimes, you just bang your head against the wall.

Hey, I resemble that!!

I think I had been in the trade maybe a week or 2. Came in one morning, and the foreman looked at the 3 of us: Brian, 6-5, 275; Ed 6-2, 225; John... 5-9, 130.

He said, " I think we can add that light at lot so-and-so today, now that John's here". The other guys nodded, and I wondered what I was in for.

Turns out a front light was missed, and I was the only one who would fit in the front porch attic. It was about 18" high (at the house side) by 30" wide. Got the light fished in, and Ed had to come up and pull me out by my feet.

LOL Thanks John, proved my point. I'm 6'7" 275lbs. Just some places i don't fit into. My Top helper is 5'6" 155lbs. I handle the heavy, he handles the "Ooops, Boss don't fit."

JohnJ0906

I still work with Ed on occasion, and we make a good team that way.

I'm 6', but only 140 lbs. I get lots of fun jobs involving crawling down in somewhere to attach this or that, since I'm the only person that will fit. for example, I was working on something or other, was walking to my truck to get some tool, and get asked if I've got a magnet- the guys doing some concrete forms had dropped some pliers down in the bottom of the form. I didn't have a magnet that would work, but I climbed down in and grabbed them. I was the only guy there that would even come close to fitting.

Ahren

Guys, for the record, it was just a joke. I'm only 5'8" and 170 lbs. myself.

Brockster

I get "reference" calls from other employers who are asking if so and so is any good. If the guy was no good I always say "no body is better".

The company I work for has a policy of not saying anything bad when they are called for a reference.

So, after explaining this policy to the caller, they say..... nothing. The caller usually gets the point. Or they say something like, " he's got a nice haircut"

My favorite is when the competition asks, "Would you hire him back?"

Let's see....I lost contracts to you all last year and you expect me to help your hiring decisions? Not likely.

I always answer, "He was the very best. It was just me having a bad quarter."

hereyugo

Sneaky, sneaky...but I guess it works.

Crawdad

I like it.

wizendwizard

I'm going to have to use this one. LOL

Why are manhole covers round?
Because any other shape could fall thru the hole.
