Every Cloud

John was a recruitment consultant. He went to his local butcher's shop and asked for a really nice piece of steak as it was a special night (his wedding anniversary) and wanted to cook a great meal. The butcher said he was waiting for a delivery so he asked if he could come back in a couple of hours. John decided to go to the supermarket instead and when he walked in he fell over a hand basket and hurt his ankle. While he was being looked after and tended to by the customer care assistant in the manager's office, he overheard a conversation - the manager was receiving a call from a potential new starter who was phoning to say he had taken another job and wouldn't be starting after all at the end of the month.

I'm sure you can write the end of the story ….. it was a butcher's assistant vacancy! John went back to the butcher to get his steak (as he had left Tesco without making it round the store) to find the butcher was frustrated with his situation because his employer was continually getting deliveries too late to keep custom - so, he wanted a new job and John placed him at the supermarket? Well, actually, no - he went home empty handed to find his wife had left him.

The good news was that he hadn't spent a fortune on the anniversary meal! There's a silver lining in every cloud - sometimes it's harder than others to find, but look hard enough and you will - and think hard enough and you will learn from it. Think of this story the next time a candidate turns down a job or a cold call gets a poor response.
