At a recent event I was forced to suffer through six hours of constant warm air being blown on my location. I was upset about this because of my past experiences in the building where it was located so I had dressed accordingly, but, this was still not enough to combat the heat. Our dealer participates in a job honest each year that is held at a local hall. My buddy and I set up a table and speak to multiple prospective employees and take applications as well. This event takes locale each December and seeing as I work in Human Resources it is my responsibility to lady the table, however trust me if I could delegate this to someone else I actually would. At any rate, the blowers from the building’s Heating, Ventilation and A/C system are located above the station where I am sitting and I spend the day dripping with sweat while trying to maintain my professional appearance. I do get some strange looks from people as I sit in my Summer weight suit because the temperature outside is frigid and wintery. Applicants come in dressed in winter time wear but soon after sitting down understand why I am dressed as I am… As multiple of them become uncomfortable due to the warm temperature I tried to assure them that I completely understand their situation. The fact that they are dripping with sweat is no indication as to whether they are qualified for the job or not and this seems to put them at ease. I also try to assure them that the laboring conditions at our offices are nowhere near as uncomfortable as they are in the hall.
