Keep Your Shirt On

Tip of the day: 

Keep Your Shirt On.

I just called a candidate who had sent me his resume and asked him if this moment was a good time for him to talk and if he was in a quiet place where he wouldn't be interrupted. ABSOLUTELY!, he tells me.

The madness quickly ensues:

Me: "Thanks for taking the time to speak with me today."

Guy: "Hang on for one second, I just want to turn my tv off. Ok. Big remote. Little remote. Ok. Shoot."

Me: "I was reviewing your resume and had some questions."

Guy: "Hang on for one second, I just want to print off my resume so I can follow along. One second. Ok. Shoot."

Me: "Could you tell me about your current position?"

Guy: "I sure can. Hang on for one second while I take my sweater off."

WHY DID YOU SAY YOU WERE READY, FELLA? For the love of all that is holy, keep your clothes on or tell me you'll call me back at a better time.
