Hiring Non-Christians

Have you had a problem getting a job?

Do you feel you are passed over because of some unseen cootie you seem to have?

More and more Christians are out of work because secular stereotypes, Let me explain: Business is tough these days; competition for the all mighty dollar is fierce. Companies want hardened aggressive employees that make every attempt to up-grade, up-sale or convert customers to more profitable products and/or services.

What decades ago was thought to be a desirable employee, (honest, punctual, moral, ethical), today is considered someone standing in the way of companies advancement AKA “corporate greed”.

Have you noticed the interview process sometimes seems the company is looking for hit men? Have you been asked, “How sociable are you?” “Do you prefer large crowds at parties or being in a small group of close friends?” “Do you prefer quiet time with family or meeting new friends?” PARTY? FAMILY OR FRIENDS? What’s all this got to do with a job? Sales jobs in particular, (and increasingly any line of work), are about going 24-7 sell mode…which is about nailing down people to listen to your sales pitch.

Have you been eliminated because of some “personality profile test”? These test are looking for party animals that push all the boundaries. Let’s face it when you became a Christian you chose a path less traveled by the world at large. A path of humility, peace and good will. You help people; you don’t trick them into costly plans/things they could live without. You avoid Non-Christians. You enjoy family time.

 Christians go the extra mile to give their best. Best is good, but not enough. Companies want barbarians…people unafraid to take risk and give it ALL to for the company. (“You can not serve 2-masters…) Sound familiar? See the dilemma?

LUKE 16:13 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.”
