Namely , we know she didn't have an Honorable Discharge from the military.
I think a lot of us would consider that a red flag in the process. What do you think?
I believe in redemption. I hope she has turned her life around and is making good choices. I also think her "I'm a victim!" bit was lame.
I think that if an application came by my desk and the person just got out of the military due to a Dishonorable Discharge.....then they wouldn't have a chance at getting an interview....much less a job.
Now if another application came by my desk, and that Dishonorable had happened a long time ago, the person had showed some stability and maturation in their life since then....then I can see where the interview could happen....and depending on how certain questions were answered, a job offer could even be made....because as we all know....everyone that gets called in for an interview is considered employable....until they "blow" the interview.
I too believe in redemption...complete. To hold one accountable for actions/statements at a younger age...would be to have them pay a price for the remainder of their lives. I believe we all learn and grow from our mistakes...and all of us on this board ( with probably one exeption) have made them. We make a mistake, we learn from it, we change our direction and try to make better decisions in the future.
In this case, I am actually happy that it paid off for this person.
