Diary of a CEO founder says he hired someone with 'zero' work experience because she thanked the security guard by name
In a bizarre hiring story, the founder of Diary of a CEO podcast has revealed that one of his team members was picked for having excellent people skills - or rather, for saying please and thank you in an interview.
Speaking on his own show, Steven Bartlett shared a surprising anecdote about how he hired someone with 'zero' work experience. Apparently, the candidate stood out during the interview process because she showed kindness and respect to the security guard at the building where the meeting took place.
"She thanked the security guard by name," Bartlett recalled. "And I thought, that's a good sign."
While some might see this as an unusual factor in hiring decisions, others could argue it shows a candidate who is considerate and able to interact with people from different backgrounds.
So what can we learn from this story? That sometimes, it's the little things that count - like showing appreciation for those around you. And don't worry if your work experience is limited; it might just be your friendly demeanor that lands you a job!
