Question

You are a few years out of respiratory therapy school and are working at a local hospital specializing in gerontology . It's a great place to work with room for advancement and the ability to be active in many areas of the hospital that interest you . The hospital is rapidly growing and your manager mentions the need to hire someone to work in a new program for community outreach and asks if you might know someone . You immediately think of your friend Bob . He minored in Marketing Communication and always had an outgoing and friendly demeanor . He's been working for a non - profit organization focusing on social media marketing . You reach out to Bob and pass on his resume to your boss . When Bob shows up for the interview , you are a bit unsettled and shocked . You had mentioned to him that the hospital environment is traditional and conservative , with professional attire as the norm . You also informed him the job would be interacting with an aging population - potential and existing clients , families , and hospital administrators . Bob arrives wearing a suit and tie but he also has a series of facial adornments including a nose ring , eyebrow ring , and very large ear gauges . You are worried that your boss will think you have wasted her time with a candidate who clearly is less serious about this important role for the hospital . You are angry with Bob . Question for discussion :
• Why might Bob have failed to consider the meaning of “ conservative and professional attire " ?
• If you could go back in time and start the situation over , would you be more specific with Bob ? If so , what more could you have done to prepare him ? Or would you now choose not to recommend him at all ?
What could Bob have done in advance of the interview to determine if his personal adornment would be of significance ?
What else might you do in this situation ? .​
