What is your No Hire List? I would never hire anyone that...

...came up with lists of people they would never hire.

no hire wrote:

1. Had a neck or face tattoo.

2. Smoked or vapped

3. Drank soda

4. Was vegan

5. Did cross fit

Doesn't it depend on what you are hiring them for?

If I own a tattoo shop I don't think having a neck or face tat would be a dis qualifier.

If I'm at RJ Reynolds I'm probably OK with smoking.

It would be hard to sell Coca Cola if you don't drink soft drinks.

Vegan and Crossfit.. yeah if someone is both (or either one) of those all they are going to do spend every day telling everyone about those two things. So yeah, don't hire them for anything.

1. Raped orphaned children

2. Hunted homeless women for sport

3. Went to prison for elder abuse

4. Organized the Fyre Festival

5. Has anything that portrays them in a negative light on social media. Seriously job seeker, either clean your Instagram up or make it private while your applying for jobs

1. Has a distinct bodily stench

2. Doesn't wash hands after using bathroom

3. Complains

4. Whines

5. Grouchy disposition

6. Points fingers at others for own personal deficits

^^Describes many LRers

1. Rapist

2. Murderer

3. Child Molester

4. Not a human

5. Sex offender

That's about all I can think of.

I was taking an interviewee out to lunch several years ago. The interviewee and myself both went to use the restroom before we left the office building. While I was washing my hands I watched her walk out of the stall and straight out of the restroom. She never washed her hands. And then we went to eat. She was not a good candidate anyway, but seeing her not wash her hands after using the restroom and right before eating put on the “nope” list for me. Gross.

1. Overdressed

2. Smelled

3. Wore a smart watch

..and of course the vegan/cross fit thing if I knew about it.

4. Was vegan

It's funny because the pretentiousness required to reject someone for drinking soda is the exact thing people hate about vegans

NO HOBBY JOGGERS!

Anybody that has Cornell University on their resume. Education or work experience.

If you roll coal pulling in or leaving, wear a M-A-G-A hat, or have a gun rack in your pickup, I would not hire you. If the gun rack held a gun, I'd lock the door.

NOT that I'm saying I would not hire a Trump supporter, that's not true. I just would not hire someone as described above.

offered me sex for money.

This would go to the top of my consideration list.

Smokes---mainly because of the healthcare costs and the likely risk of more missed days at work.

Tattoo--kinda depends on the business. If it is a bar, does it really matter? Bank, then probably would.

The other 3 are really none of my business as long as the person was productive at work.

As for 5, I would rather have a person who does crossfit than fortnite (againg maybe that latter is better in some industries).

What about homeless men? (Asking for a friend).

Lol, ivy league keeps getting deleted on this thread. I guess I have to say pretentious and over priced schools instead.

Not hiring because someone smokes is crazy. I work in the corporate world and some of the best guys/gals I have worked with smoke. Do I like it? Hell no. But that's insane to not hire someone because of it.

1. Have a Master's on your resume, but it's from University of Phoenix.

"The interview and myself..."

What's wrong with Ivy League?
