You're an employer. You have to hire one of the final three for a fast track junior management position. Which would you hire?

And don't lecture me about their degrees. Unless they are performing surgery, most employers are not interested in what you studied, only that you completed college with a decent GPA.

Jun impresses me as someone who could carry herself well in the right venue. I am also going to assume Robert has had some success in the business world. He would be my second choice.

Ali, I would declare Chapter 11 before I would get involved with her.

I would go for Jun first.... not sure if I could handle being in the same building/business with Robert or Ali for more than a hour at a time before I completely lose it.

If I were a major loan shark, or needed an overly aggressive executive to do some dirty work, I would choose Ali.

Well I think based on this show Ali would be a prime candidate for alot of job positions. (for real) She shows alot of talents that would be a real asset in many fields. Drive, amition, task oriented, goal oriented, tenacity and on and on and on. Depending on the field - I wouldn't hesitate to hire her, especially in a really competitive market.

It really depends upon what the job is.

For example, if the job were an intern under President Clinton, I would hire Ali.

Had it been Ali instead of Monica - she would have ended up Vice President.. LOL

Depends on the FULL nature of the job.....at first glance I would think that JUN would be the choice.

If the job was more of a "yes, sir, coming right up SIR!" Go-for job, ALI would be best.

I dont think ROB could stop fidgeting and picking thru an interview. He says it is a nervous habit....interviews make people nervous. No hire.

I could see the headlines: "Hillary Meets Mini Me"; "I Hate Chelsea"; "I Never Touched That Girl (but she touched me)"

Jun! She has an interest in the world around her.

Ali doesn't know what brie cheese is and she doesn't look like she cares about much other than money and sex.

I would be hard pressed to come up with even one of these three. Gossip, backstabbing, and name calling can end up doing more damage in a company than any amount of hard work can do good for a company.

I once worked for a company where a good man had to go to court for a child restraint violation. One of the girls went around telling everyone that he was charged with child abuse. This man was devastated when he heard what was being said about him behind his back. This kind of talk and gossip can destroy peoples lives and place labels on them they will never shake. I think Jun and Ali especially are capable of this kind of behavior.

I guess I would have to say Robert as I think he would be less likely to create friction, less likely as in the lesser of the three.

I can see strengths in all of them that they could bring to a job, but at the same time, I think they are also a risk to poison the environment that they are inserted into.

These are high risk people, but at the same time, people willing to take a risk can be as valuable at pushing things forward that conservative steady as she goes people are.

In the end, I am thinking the order I would work through them is Jun, Robert, then Ali.

Ali would probably start with a big bang and early success stories, but then as she became familiar and comfortable in her environment, she could poison the atmosphere and cause a lot of unnecessary tension.

Robert might actually be OK if he was able to stay clean, and be dependable, but I would worry a bit about putting him in charge of women. He does seem to be a reliable team player though.

Jun, is already proving herself in a professional work environment. She seems like a fairly cool cucumber, and might work out well in a management position. with her, I'd worry about gossip causing friction.

Overall though, I'd rather request a new set of candidates.

I agree with Kristy and Crossfire. Give me a new group of candidates. I don't think that Robert has the self-confidence and presence to handle a junior management job. Allie and Jun might be able to handle the job, but not the personnel they would have to work with. Both seem to enjoy stirring things up and the kind of stirring they do is not a desirable trait for someone in management.

I wonder if Allie's and Jun's current employers will seriously consider asking them to leave. Their behavior seen by any clients would reflect negatively on the companies. Most companies do not want that kind of publicity.

If I had a business with an all female staff, I'd hire Robert as a go-for. But I'd make the staffers watch the way he talks about women first.

If I were forced to choose 1, I would probably choose Rob. I think Ali and Jun talk badly and lie about others to make themselves look better and they could cause too many problems in the workplace. Rob would probably go home and talk to his friends about those giving him problems at work....getting it out of his system and not causing problems at work. The only thing with Rob I would have to worry about is if he comes in the next day admitting to what he told his friends....LOL.

LOL - Loan Shark Ali : "Gimme the f'n money or I'll crack your skull you m f,n sob. By the way, here's a free copy of the calendar I posed for. Aren't I hot? All my brothers friends just drool over my picture."

Sorry, I hire writers and communicators and none of these three are remotely qualified.

If I were hiring someone to escort tourists through the CBS studios, maybe I'd pick Ali or Jun. Both can gossip and tell creative stories in a believable way to keep the tourist crowd entertained.

I imagine that Robert is an excellent Salsa Dance instructor. If I were hiring for cruise ship dance instructors or dancers to help entertain the single female passengers, I imagine he'd be a candidate.

note to self: do not, repeat do NOT go on any cruise where Max is hiring salsa dancers

J/K Max..I know you'd only hire reputable dancers, they'd all look like Tad

LMAO Max, you pegged each of them perfectly. I can see Ali standing at the front of a bus with a microphone spreading her vile commentary about some unsuspecting celebrity.

Poor Robert, if he could keep his mouth shut about his "connections", he would definately fit the bill for dance instructor (reminds me of the Patrick Swayze roll in "Dirty Dancing"....but obviously not as attractive as Patrick)

Was their time in the house a Job or a game where every last move and comment was recorded?

If I had good feedback from past work experience I'd hire all three of them based on their workability. I'd be more concerned why any of them got fired in the past and evaluate it from there. If their work record is golden I'd invite them all to apply for the job and see which one fits the position best.
