Don't forget to pack the Imodium!!!!

Good morning, I am Suzanne, one of the recruiters working with Whitney at RSG, Inc.

Of course we always want to be current in our blogs so I gave it a little thought over the weekend. As I was doing my weekly grocery shopping the idea came to me.

Roaming the aisles I was thinking about what I would have for my lunch this week since I do tend to brown bag it. I thought gee a peanut butter sandwich would be good, though peanut butter has had a recall. How about a good healthy salad with fresh lettuce and spinach - oh no better not do that - it has had a recall too. Well one of my favorite quick lunches has always been a chicken pot pie… once again, been recalled!

We try and help to prepare our candidates for successful interviews with our clients. Do we now have to prepare them for the possible onset of salmonella due to a bad salad…..?

What is going on with our food supply? As a firm that has clients and candidates having to travel for meetings and interviews do we have to start worrying about how and where their next meal is being purchased and prepared? Even the best burger place can cause one to think twice about ordering a nice fat juicy cheeseburger! Should restaurants start to include bar codes and expiration dates on their menus? It can be stressful enough just preparing for an upcoming interview. Now a candidate has to worry if the meal they ate for breakfast or lunch may come back to haunt them in the middle of their interview process.

Seems to be an unlikely event but with more recalls on different foods one needs to be prepared for anything.

Oh well, as far as lunch goes for me… guess I’ll stick with a diet coke and a bag of cheetos…..LOL!
