[Rhodes22-list] Check the resume!

[Bary Cote and Family]

"Now say someone comes to you looking for a job.  Right off the
bat, you notice something strange about his resume: It goes on
for page after page about a job he held for four months, more
than 35 years ago, but makes only the barest mention of anything
he's done since.  You have him in for an interview, and he can't
give you a straight answer to any question about what he plans
to do in the job if you hire him. ... Still, you decide to check
out his references. 
Some sing his praises quite extravagantly, but a greater number describe him harshly as a man
of dubious character, and some accuse him of lying on his resume.
He acknowledges a few embellishments but refuses to provide you
with documents that would shed light on the other accusations.
Would you hire this man?  And would you fire an employee of four
years' standing in order to create an opening for him?"

"Try not to become a man of success, but rather a man of values."
