He made our selection decision easier, although we still have three candidates to pick from. I can certainly appreciate that Reggie might have felt burned or misused by Acme Systems, but that's too much disclosure for me! I can't hire Reggie now. Now I am in search of my next opportunity, after escaping from a toxic work environment run by scammers and thieves. I want to work for a company that is ethical, unlike Acme Systems which was run by semi-criminals and now is being sued by its investors.Īt Acme Systems I learned that just because someone has an Ivy League MBA doesn't mean they are smart. The fourth candidate "Reggie" got very real and very personal in his LinkedIn profile summary. The fourth candidate's profile is the one that blew my mind. The third candidate's profile was average - there was nothing wrong with it but it didn't show any particular spark or creativity, either.
