A Great Dealer Of Honesty

(I work for a gaming company as a recruiting assistant. Part of my job includes calling people who have submitted applications to see if they’d be interested in an interview. If it’s been a while since they applied, I have to start off with “are you still interested in potentially working with us?”, since most of them have already found a job in that time. This takes place over the phone. In all, the call was about forty seconds long.)

Me: “Good afternoon, this is [My Name] calling for [Company]. How are you doing today?”

Guy: “…Ai’ight.”

Me:“Fantastic! I’m calling today to…” *spiel about them applying, being selected for interview, etc.* “…and I was wondering if you’re still interested in a potential employment opportunity with us?”

Guy: “…Naw, I’m good. I deal drugs now.” *click*

Me: *speechless*

(At least he was honest!)
