Found this on Facebook and I dedicate it to all the pundits that like to point out what
the EDUCATED versus those who are not college educated will do. I hate when they do that because it insults those voters who are able to discern the negative intricacies of politics. Just stop it. They intensify the labeling of people daily.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!
I hired someone that didn’t shake my hand firmly during the interview - he rocked as an employee.
I hired someone with three typos on their resume. - She was the most detailed oriented person I’ve ever worked with.
I hired someone without a college degree- He was way smarter, innovative, and creative than me!
I hired someone with four kids- Never met someone so devoted and committed than her career.
I hired someone who had been incarcerated as a young adult. - He’s a VP now.
I hired someone over 60- she taught me some tricks on excel that I use to this day!
Can we please throw out all those silly assumptions and rules that we’ve made up in our head about what a person needs to be, look like, have accomplished, and do to succeed?
In my experience as an HR leader and as a hiring manager, it’s those that typically don’t get a “shot” who tend to kick butt in the workplace!
So before you throw that resume away because they don’t have every certificate and degree or don’t call back that candidate because they didn’t give you a firm handshake. Think about trying something new. Someone new. 🤷🏽♀️
