You know you are in HR when...

you get applications from someone with a conviction for vehicular manslaughter and is applying for a tour bus driver position.

you see "stalking" as one of the job duties listed by an applicant who worked at a supermarket.

you take your family to Disneyland for the day and actually ask one of the employees about their benefits package, training, etc...

you can make people cry and feel like crying in the same day.

Gillian and Franfields hit on a topic I have been researching lately: the importance of background checks, and how to perform them correctly. The next HR Executive Special Report will be on that topic. If anyone has any interesting stories, or questions, on this topic, please let me know!

You can post them here, or e-mail me directly at [email]awilliams@mleesmith.com[/email].

A temp agency sends you someone to work as a gas utility meter reader who has been convicted of burglary, so you can give them a truck and send them door to door.

... someone mentions they are going to the doctor because they are not feeling well and you immediately starting thinking, "FMLA, ADA..."

You wake up in the morning at 3:00 a.m. and rather than rolling over and making love to your (whoever), you jump up, get dressed and rush off to work to check new postings on The Forum. x}>

Meg

When you help an employee with his interview skills even though you know he is applying for a position with a different organization because you know this is a great opportunity for him.

...when everyone you know tells you all their work "challenges" and every story ends with, "This can't be legal can it?"
