I often reject candidates simply for using bad font or one of those shitty MS Word templates on their resume

You're probably missing out on good candidates by being so judgemental on something that should not make a difference. Can you really afford to do that when good talent is hard to come by? Give candidates a fair chance!

Are they really a good candidate if they aren’t able to google “consulting resume”? If I hired someone who used papyrus on a slide deck I would be laughed out the door.

Is it unethical as realtors working in an office to block chunks of time off for personal reasons?

Do you do this as well or do you prefer to work straight through your day?

Also other data as needed to make a slide deck. Anybody have recommendations/personal experience at a consulting firm with Multifamily practice?

I think my dad is in a deep depression and I don’t know how to help. I think his general “laziness” stems from that but my family’s anger toward him for not trying to find a job or contribute at all to the household has created resentment against him so it’s a vicious cycle. He doesn’t want to help himself (probably because he is depressed) and that makes people not want to help him. Any suggestions?
