(21,646 posts)She told her husband she should hhave dressed better for the job meeting
When she arrived she realized many applying were dressed up .
The 4 called after the meeting were better dressed although she did not know their experience she mentioned the young man because she commented that at his age he could not have much experience .
The job at minimum wage was to work at a nursing home ( on the floor) . You worked as you gained knowledge and credit to become a certified nursing assistant which if you are certified after 6 months , pays a few $ more than minimum wage
Not in an office but on the nursing home floor serving or wiping residents+ the job does not make you middle class and you would wear a nursing home uniform in most cases . So yes I call the people applying at Chikfila etc. poor. You can call them what you see from up there
Do you need a suit for CNA work ? , NO but when maximum number for the meeting room space as is the case these days people show up for a paying job training position of which only 4 will be hired. , you need to stand out esp. if your experience is lacking, + better look respectful and serious which a suit or dress equates these days . Not the only story I can relate but you do not want to believe the present day job economy just mock a young man's clothes
Out of touch + clueless imo and no more time to educate you so last response . Just glad you were not at Target that day to put him down or even talk him out of a tie but these folks work at target so they do have a clue about what it takes now days to get the kind of job they have thus the counsel about how to act also .
OK now you asked for an answer
