Fast Times At...Human Resources

At the behest of a couple of readers, I'm going to be doing a weekly (bi-weekly maybe?) post on the stuff I see in HR. So I work at a property management company and I do a lot of the recruiting. Depending on how much stuff comes across my desk and if it's interesting, I'll post on it. You'll have to help me come up with a more creative title for this post. I have two items on the agenda for today:

• Contact information, work experience, education are all good things to put on your resume, but personal information is bad, i.e. social security numbers. Really, bro? Do you really think that I'm going to be hiring or asking you in for an interview based on what your SS number is?
• Next up is a story. On the property level, there is a property director and there is the leasing personnel and the maintenance staff. At one of our properties a truck was blocking access to one of the garages for the residents of the community. It belonged to an employee who had recently been fired and was moving out of the apartment in the same property. People were honking, yelling, and swearing that this guy to move. The property director called maintenance to have him removed, but to no avail. Then she had to approach him herself. He completely ignored her, got in his truck, and locked the door. He then attempted to back up while the director was standing behind the truck. Yelling at him to stop, the driver then puts the truck in park and exits and begins yelling at her and screaming vulgarities and insults. He then swore at her daughter. He even said, “you will be sorry, I know where you live.” She called the cops, but he had left by that time. Awesome.
