My comment was tongue-in-cheek, however, getting to know someone for the sole purpose of a job recommendation is called '@ss kissing.' There once was a day when qualifications mattered, but call me old fashioned.
That's funny. Because, it was blaringly OBVIOUS that the car washing, lawn mowing and margarita making comments were tongue-in-cheek too. Yet you chose hypocrisy. I was at World in a past life and I will attest that qualifications definitely mattered. Otherwise, if one somehow made it through the interview, the unqualified would get washed out in training.
Are you new to the profession?
