McCain failed the Job Interview Process. He may re-apply in 4 years.
If I walked into a corporation & said, “Hi, I’m here to apply for the job of managing your production department.”
The first thing they would say is, “Great, can we see your resume, & a job history going back at least 5 years?”
What do you think would happen if I gave them a resume, & then qualified it by saying; “I know I’ve messed up with a lot of those people I’ve worked with, & some of them might not have good things to say about me, but don’t worry, I can do whatever you need here, despite all that.”
What if they asked you what makes you think you’d be right for this position, since in the past you’ve bucked your own management, yelled at & belittled your own customers, & told the company’s clients to “Calm Down” when they had some legitimate complaints?
Would you reply with this; I know I’ve made all those mistakes in the past, & I hope you’ll forgive me for them. I will listen to you if I get the job, & I promise I’ll do all the things I never did right before.
Now can I have the keys to the building, the company car, & the job please?
“We have had a few disagreements, and none of us will pretend that we won’t continue to have a few,” McCain said. “But even in disagreement, especially in disagreement, I will seek the counsel of my fellow conservatives. If I am convinced my judgment is in error, I will correct it. And if I stand by my position, even after benefit of your counsel, I hope you will not lose sight of the far more numerous occasions when we are in complete accord.” -John McCain
NO Mr. McCain, you will NOT stand your position when the majority of the country (or corporation) disagrees with you. We don’t get things done that way. And it will be when WE DECIDE YOUR JUDGMENT IS IN ERROR that you will correct it. What is this, a Monarchy?
Are there any managers reading this? Would you not say to this person, “Thanks for coming in, & good luck on your job search, but we really need someone with a more solid job history in Management.. Feel free to apply with us again in five years when your work history improves.”
I know that’s what I’d say!
Now lets take my analogy over to asking for the job of being LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD, the President of the United States. Do you think maybe the interview process should get even more stringent, considering the gravity of the responsibilities associated with it?
In the seventies the record industry ran itself like our government does today. You just had to know somebody, who knows somebody, & shazam! You were a record label president, even if you’d just got out of jail for racketeering. A little palm greasing, a few favors around town, & whammo, suddenly you got the job!
Well in the late seventies with record executives running around heading up cocaine parties complete with hookers & an open bar, it didn’t take long for the industry to completely financially crash.
After that, the record industry began to use sound hiring practices, & traded in the old school ex-con record executives, for college grads with marketing degrees. They improved the quality of their leadership, & executives, & began to make money again, until the digital piracy age came along, but that’s a whole other topic.
My point is of course that McCain want us to give him this job based on very little substantive performance as a Conservative Republican, & seemingly just because he has an (R) before his name. The truth is that if any business hired people based on promises of performance, rather than a HISTORY of proven performance, then we’d have almost no successful businesses in America, & they would all be running a 9.2 Trillion Dollar deficit along with our government right now.
Did you know that if the averaged sized company with an average expected profit existed from the time of Jesus’ birth, until today, they would still not be able to get themselves in debt to the tune of 9.2 Trillion Dollars? Only a moronic out of control government like the one we’ve had for the last 20 or so years could manage that.
If McCain has a way out of that debt, then I would have liked to have heard it before he got the nomination, but we haven’t now have we..
What we’ve gotten is a lot of empty words & promises that would get you shown the door if you tried to use them to get a management job at any reputable & productive company or corporation. It’s time we start holding our chosen leaders to the same standards we do to build a successful private industry or business.
I will NOT vote for, hire, or support a bad manager with a spotty track record. I will however focus on getting some good “Production Employees” (the people who really get the job done) in the Senate & the House. Without great production workers, a manager is only an shallow figure head with a company car & a corner office. I will now focus on putting productive people in Congress, & as I’ve promised. I will Cast my write in vote for Michelle Malkin, in protest of this retread Republican, who doesn’t deserve to be President. Why am I so hard on him? See what a Capitol Hill Staffer says here, about how McCain acts when he’s not ON CAMERA! ~ Dan Lee
Next applicant please…. ~Dan Lee
