If you were looking for a new job.. Would you...

TucAzRider · July 3rd, 2009, 04:08 PM

I'm not looking, but wonder what everyone would do,... Thanks.

Arko · July 3rd, 2009, 04:10 PM

Not sure I follow you. I AM looking though....

Oh! Nevermind. The poll didn't come up right away for some reason.

I would wait, read the handbook, then ask, IF I ask at all.

The only way I would bring it up is if I was applying at a gun shop or a firing range.

Other than that, if I got the offer, I would get a copy of the handbook, and make the decision from there.

For me, company policy is just company policy. I would know if it was illegal to carry there as soon as I got to the interview.

In todays market, if I needed the job, and it was a good opportunity, I don't think carry policy would deter me from taking the job.

I'd get the job and then check their policy. If the job was temporary and not a lifelong career, I would completely ignore their policy and carry either way. If it was a lifelong career, I'd get the job and ask about their policy before accepting the position.

I would be much more concerned as to what I wanted in the job, and CCW would not enter in unless I had two offers that were essentially equal.

After getting the job I would obey the rules.

Regards,
Jerry

Never ask. Read the rules and any contract carefully.

Of course, you should always read any rules or contract carefully.

Don't ask, don't tell!

Yeah, I'm looking too!

MitchellCT · July 3rd, 2009, 05:49 PM

I'd find out and carry regardless.

+1!

I am currently seeking employment and I selected other. First off I will not ask if a potential employer allows CC. If they are rabid anti you just lost the possibility for a job. Once I am hired I'll read the handbook and abide by it. Why give yourself away when there is no reason to.

If a potential employer ask if I carry I will tactfully avoid giving them an answer. It's none of their business to know that information.
