Normally, I’m a pretty mellow guy and I don’t let my emotions get out of control. However, when I got in my car this morning, I found that someone had smashed my windshield with a blunt object.
Unfortunately, I lost it.
Now that a few hours have passed and I’ve had a chance to cool down, I started thinking about the ramifications of my broken glass on this hooligan’s job search.
Now, I’m making a number of assumptions here for the benefit of this post:
The biggest problem I see is that with a conviction of any kind on your record, you will have a difficult passing any type of background check. This means that no matter what skills you have, you are going to have one big red “X” on your scorecard before an employer even thinks of offering you a job.
There is also the little issue of references. I can only guess that the type of person who would do this would have poor references to begin with. However, if they keep committing random acts of vandalism, their references are sure to dry up. No positive references often means no job.
Ultimately, I think this person has made a huge mistake (or most likely another huge mistake). While I don’t want to dwell on the negatives, I hope that they can overcome whatever childish impulses caused this particular act and (hopefully) look forward to a long career as Mike Tyson’s sparring partner.
There, I feel much better.
PS. On the off chance that the neanderthal who did this to my car happens to be reading post, I would invite you to click here.
