HR orders food for tired and sad job applicant before interview, post sparks appreciation

A hiring manager, also known as HR, revealed that he ordered food for a job applicant who appeared tired and sad before interviewing him.

The revelation was shared in a post that quickly gained attention on the popular social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

In the post, the HR professional explained that when the man arrived for the interview, he looked exhausted and downcast.

Noticing this, the HR manager asked if he had eaten, to which the applicant replied that he had not. Concerned, the HR manager decided to order food for him to eat before proceeding with the interview.

His statement: “This guy just came in for an interview looking all tired and sad. My first question was, ‘Have you had breakfast?’ He said, ‘No, sir.’ I ordered food for him, so he could eat and shake off his sorrow before the interview.”

The post sparked a wave of supportive comments from concerned individuals, who expressed their appreciation for the HR manager’s thoughtful gesture.

@ekibyleo: “If he is now qualified, he may end up not demanding a huge salary again. But well done for the kind gesture.”
