I know there are a million posts and people sending me messages and calling me an idiot, liar blah blah blah.
End of the day I didn't offer mak a job told him of an opportunity I may have but have also offered to use my customer contacts for a potential job near him. This is not a lie and have and will share my LinkedIn profile if need be. End of the day the guy posted as a way to vent because to be quite honest it's easier to post this on the Internet then talk about this with people you see face to face every day.
I for one have been hit with horrible times and know what it takes to overcome that. I offered to not only help find work but also give advice on interviewing and resumes. This type of advice especially from a successful hiring manager in his industry is not stuff you will see offered without compensation or a long standing relationship.
I do not owe anyone on here and do not appreciate the negativity of some in this thread toward me as if I am of bad character.
If you were smart you may even send me a resume or ask career or other advice.

Please make a TL;DR!!!! That would better help me understand you.
-
So you are back to being a random guy again?
-
No as a matter of fact I'm polishing his resume and giving him a lot of potential job leads. Then probably meeting next week when my schedule allows.
-
A meeting where you discuss your cut of the cash? I thought you knew his employers? Your story keeps changing.
-
His employer bought equipment that my company services, much like every company in the world does. It is called a service contract my district has over 15,000 contracts in the two states. Do I know his boss on a first name basis, nope. Do I know anyone at his old employer not on a first name basis. Do I need the money hardly. As a matter of fact I recommend he get rid of the fund me bullshit because he should pay for his own Xbox after a few months of paychecks. It is just dumb luck I know where he worked, I know where he works now because I pay for a different landscaping company. I also find it crazy that you come after me. If you weren't so biased in your judgement maybe we could have a rational conversation where you realize not everyone on this earth is a giant asshole and people will actually help others. Now your statement about me offering a job I did not offer just stated I may have something coming up. Now with his resume does his experience fit, not for what I am hiring but skills for an apprenticeship sure. I don't employ idiots or slackers and I will not stick my neck out for someone to a friend unless I can stand by that.
-
So why does he need money for an Xbox if he already has a job?
-
He has a 7 dollar an hour feed the family job, ask the people who were willing to donate to get him a console. I'm not donating matter of fact think it's a stupid idea, because priorities now if he needed food I would put him in touch with a local organization. But long story short if the guy can't get a job there may be a reason for it, so that's where I stepped in. Longest over ever been unemployed was 19 days after a layoff and that was because I took my family on vacation. I know the job market, how to get around career websites and how to network. So rather th an hear another sob story of a family going poor kids not being able to eat in my community I'll help him get a career.
-
So he is putting his priorities in a -blam!-ing video game console instead of feeding his family and you are surprised people are pissed?
-
No he sold his console to get his kids presents then vented on here. People are mad because other setup a fund me account. I could give a crap and im not sure why you think I am orchestrating this. If I need 250 dollars that bad I would sell what's in the corner of my garage.
-
LOL @ venting. Only an idiot would vent over taking care of their kids.guy is a fraud. Plain and simple.
-
I greatly appreciate the fact that you would offer him a possibility at a better job. I find it very odd that anyone would see that as negative or try to put you down in any way. I can appreciate how selfless you are and I wish there were more people like you out there.

I am really ashamed at some of the things I have seen and read... But this more than anything is sickening.
