How do HR people / interviewers react when felon applicants say
something to the tune of, "If a felon can be President, then I sure as
Hell can be (name of position they're applying for)!"?
How popular is the "if a felon can be President..." argument getting in the felon community? What usually happens when felon applicants use that argument?
To those of you living outside the US and who are therefore out-of-the-loop: Trump is a felon who still, unfortunately, won reelection. Now I'm sure felons everywhere are saying "If a felon can be President of the United States, then I sure can have (the job they're applying for!)"
While I get the thought process, nobody should say this in an interview. Better to show they're owning their prior mistake.
It's the entitlement for me
Some of the best workers I've ever had on sites were felons. And some of the most straight edge, absolutely no red marks on their file were the most miserable pieces of shit I've ever possibly had the displeasure of managing.
And then there are all the people in between.
I had jury duty recently and a few tried this argument during the voire dire
How did that work out for them?
They did get dismissed. (This is Texas after all! Ha!)
I can't imagine many people saying this during an interview. It's completely inappropriate.
