With the latest film release in the Transformers series, it is no wonder that Decepticons are leaching into corporate America.Given the state of our economy, the burgeoning percentage of our workforce scrambling for a chance to fill a shrinking number of job openings, and the general lack of conscience sported by numerous unscrupulous businessmen, the newest trends should not shock any of us.Yet, I find it despicable that I have been lied to and misled three times in the past six months in my quest for a new career opportunity.I do not expect the task of finding suitable employment to be a simple one, however, the already mountainous challenge is made even more daunting when deception of such great magnitude begins to erode confidence in businesses to a point that, when a truthfully legitimate opportunity comes knocking, skepticism may prevent follow-through.If you happen to be a potential employer reading this, know that honesty and integrity are the right paths to take – really the only paths – if your prospective job is truly a great one, be totally transparent and up front about that outlook and divulge all the information about the employment before candidates invest their time and money just to be told a different story than they were first led to believe.There are a plethora of prospects in the personnel pool that are much more likely to give you the kind of value you seek in a new employee if you bare all and are up front so they can trust you implicitly going into their new position without feeling duped.So far, I am maintaining a positive attitude and am able to discern these ploys, but not until after I have driven long distances and endured repeated hooks for recruitment into everything from pyramid schemes to covert self-employment anglings that require substantial up-front investments of time and money yet hold no interest to me whatsoever – I pray that I shall be able to remain objective and optimistic.
