Michelle Cornelison-Cruz true. When I interview people I look at how they react to constructive criticism. If the person acts interested at all in the feedback and willing to listen to advice, I can work with whatever the issue at hand is. If the reaction is defensive, I walk away.
I was just telling someone yesterday that I am so thankful that my first manager overlooked some of my flaws because she saw something in me. For example: when I started this business I came to work wearing club clothes... literally I wore club clothes. I was young and dumb and I thought I was nicely dressed. I loved the way the other girls in the office dressed, but I didn’t even know where you bought those clothes. About two weeks after I started, we magically got uniforms it was the best thing, I was so excited! I could tell you so many other crazy stupid things that I did when I first started out in this buisness, glad that manager was a very patient woman!
