Had a guy send a resume in for an I-Man position. He listed all the brands of equipment he had worked with. He was 0 for 5, misspelled Topcon, Sokkia, Trimble, Nikon, and Leica :'(
We had one who had dates on his resume that indicated he started at a local survey company in December 2007 and left said firm in January 2007. He meant 2009. Hired him on anyway. Still working! He's a great employee and has proven to be an asset. You can't always judge a book by it's cover regardless of how hard they make it to overlook!
Has anyone else been told all about working with Lycra geosystems equipment?
Not to mention the guy who told me all about how he used his theodomite to set out the tunnel.
(badly as it turned out....)
I had a "terminal breakfast" at Istanbul airport and lived to tell the tale.
OK, so somebody insulted you, and you had to share the insult?
(Yes, I know, it was humor, but you forgot to click the humor button!)
🙂
I'm in pain, and kidding you for putting me there!

my "finest" applicant...
...was a "buddy" of one of my PCs that needed a job. I told my PC to have his buddy show up at 6:30 AM for an interview. When I got there at 6:15, he was sitting in his car in the lot, waiting.
He was wearing a black faux-silk shirt with flames and Jeff Gordon's number 12, complete with a racing stripe up and down one side. I "complemented" him on his shirt. He told me it was the nicest shirt in his closet.
I asked him if he could pass a piss-test. He said no.
Strange as it may seem, I hired him. This fella was up early, dressed in his best and was honest with me. After almost ten years he's now my lead PC.
I just had a hunch.
BTW - He couldn't even spell resume, let alone produce one. He regularly emails his weekly time on an Excel file. It's his "weekly spred sheet"... :pinch:

Your story made my day.
Sometimes the opportunity to rescue on of those folks, who are "Going to Seed" with no direction, and they "take". Nothing like it.
Good call!

Expendable - it's something that grabs your attention and makes your resume stand out from others. You may get an interview, if only to satisfy someone's curiosity.
> *Application of risk-management principles
> *Expendable
Was he wearing a red shirt?
I think I would rather have someone who could "adapt" to the work instead of "adopt" it. (Attention to details???)
