Full story:
I interviewed a candidate through Skype last week.
During the call, I heard kids crying in the background. His wife was also talking. The experience was too noisy.
The room he sat was clumsy. I was a bit disappointed.
I expected a more professional approach from him.
Somehow, he felt my disappointment while answering my questions and became unsettled. He stuttered several times.
After the interview, I told him I wasn't impressed with how he presented himself.
He burst into tears, "I am sorry, Sir. I live in a room with my family. There's nowhere they could have stayed.
"We used to live in a bigger apartment before I lost my job 3 years ago. This is all I can afford for now. I have failed my family. I know I have." He said in tears.
I felt bad. I had no idea that he was going through a tough time.
I apologized and encouraged him not to feel heartbroken. After all, he's trying his best.
Besides, he did well in the interview.
I gave him the contract and asked if he'd like to start next month.
He couldn't believe it because he thought I was going to dismiss him.
He shouted out for joy, "Hey baby, I got the work."
I saw his wife came to hug him.
I was moved.
I learned never to judge anyone.
Life isn't balanced. Let's try to make someone smile.
