(135,425 posts)for a job; that most certainly would be one -- it's just that as an employer, I'd look for the quirky sort because that's the type of people I like having around me. I like "out of the box" thinkers, people who can apply a new fix to an old problem--those were usually the types of problems I would be expected to solve in my laboring days.
Also, my experience -- at least, in terms of "hiring" (i.e. deciding who I want on my team for this evolution or that) has been different from the mainstream. See, I was in the Armed Services, so anyone I interviewed was in uniform already-- I'd have to get beyond the superficial and try to suss out things like creativity and work ethic. I was a "compassionate" boss, but I often worked issues that involved long hours and lots of weekends. Not fun, high stress, but what one might call "career enhancing" for the person with the right attitude!
