[quote=svelte]The first guy mentioned (holds jobs for 2 months, does nothing, gets paid then fired) would never be hired by me because I’d trash-can his resume as soon as I saw the length of his stay at his prior employers.

Somehow I doubt his resume accurately reflects his work history. You would only find out after checked references, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t have references that are less than honest.
