I've always thought that companies have rejected potential employees, amazing people, those who might have let them know of new methods and strategies, lacks that these may have never been aware of, until this random-unexperienced-low-income-high-school-graduate crew member finds and offers a solution and is likely capable of showing them how the job is done.
Definitely, You can't tell how much a person knows nor how determined they are until they show you what they're made of. Neither, you can judge people you know nothing about, because every person has gone through something that somewhat, shaped them into what they're now.
Let's compare little Alex with a Jane doe.
Alex is a college student, or soon will be. He has ambitions and dreams, as most teenagers.
He lacks of job experience, even-though he knows how to handle money.
You could tell he was born to be a cashier. However, he's determined to be the best wherever at whatever he does and not being recognized and respected is unacceptable for him.
He says he can't feed his future family out of a minimum wage.
But,(There's always a 'but' xdd). He's selfish, he needs the money mostly for himself and to buy a nice car, he wants to be popular (The good way) at college. Not necessarily for having a Mustang, or a decent credit score on his bank account, but he wants to show everyone what he's capable of.
The bastard has had a lucky life so far, anyone else could think. He believes he's destined for greatness.
In his 'desperate' seek of a job, he applies to every place he can find, not caring about what he could learn, but how much he could make and how fast he could accomplish his short-term goals.
Fact: He lacks conversational and language skills and he hasn't done very well at his job interviews xdd!!
He goes to the interview and didn't pass.... reason??....His hair was messy when he got there.
Not good for customer service. This didn't leave a good impression and his traveled an hour for a 5min interview.
Now, second player, Jane doe. She's a middle-aged woman. She's a RN and she was working on a Master's, but had to drop off college because of family issues.
She completed her bachelor studies in a decent but yet well-known regional university. She's the single mother of two kids.
She doesn't have a job, because unfortunately, she didn't fit into the highest percentile of her class, and whichever hospital she has gone to has preferred 'better-looking' yet less-experienced nurses.
She hasn't had a job in ages, she's financially struggling and she'd kill for a job.
So, Jane starts looking for jobs that are not related to her career at all.
She finds a job offer, a part-time job at a local restaurant. But, she has no experience on restaurants or operating a register. She applies and receives a call few hours later. Surprisingly, same one as little Alex had applied.
They schedule her interview and she agrees to meet them on time.
She goes to the interview and they tell her she will be called if anything.
She never received that call, though.... reason?... They said "She looked nervous and insecure during the interview" and it was certainly something they can't allow to hire when it comes to customer-service related jobs.
They've got a point....Right!! But how's it possible for someone not to feel anxious and nervous when you fucking have a couple of starving kids at home, whose dad is a jerk by the way; and you're probably going to have your supplies 'cut' in no time.... Dammit Jane... Grow a 'bigger' pair.
She was in real need of this job. While, Alex just wanted to be independent and be a show-off.
Who deserved the job?.... Who was more qualified?... Who would've done a better job?
If none of them were good and determined enough to do the job then what amazing qualities 'player 3' could possibly have?.
P.S: This is fiction. This hasn't happened....yet. But I'm pretty convinced of the issue I'm touching here. :))!!
