Representative Quotation
We are doing what most everybody else does, I’m sure, but we take it a step farther: We’ll help them fill out the applications, we’ll take them to the place where they fill them application out and sit in on the job interview if we have to. (Focus Group-1)
Really walking them through some of those tough times, and helping them problem-solve how they would get through that, so they won’t react and just leave the job… And if they really don’t want to be there… how to leave the job, so they can be hirable for the next position. (FG-3)
Participant 2: For example, if someone is worried about the interview, “Okay, yeah, most interviews go good, and let me tell you about a bad interview that I had, and tell you that I made it through it, and so you are going to be able to make it through it. I spilled water and blah blah blah… and guess what, I still got the job!”
Participant 5: “I tripped and fell in front of the person that was hiring me and slammed my face!”
Participant 2: “… and that was, by the way, the interview for this job that I am working right now.” (FG-1)
