I have a friend who have been looking for a job for almost 2 years now..her field is customer service and to me it dont seem long to find a job in that area. She goes on many interviews and never gets hired..Now here's the thing she drinks every night and then wakes up in the morning to go on her interviews she may stay up until like 3 am and her interview is like 9am. she cant understand why she is not getting hired.
I have tried to explain to her maybe its b/c she is up all night drinking. She claims she gets up in the morning and be there on time. However, I can always tell is someone may have been drinking the night before I'm a manager in a large office..... could they smell the beer on her I dont know........

Funny, If she came for a job interview I would not hire her....and we have had this conversations many times she tells me the same thing "oh I'm fine My interviews go well" I have nothing else to tell her I want to know if an interviewer can smell the booze on her

tell her to grow up and take responsibility with herself and realize that other people perceive things a about you that you might not notice, and that if your friend is telling you how to better your chances you should probably listen.

Well what you should do is really have a heart to heart conversation with your friend.... Tell her the truth about everything that you are thinking and don't try to sugar coat anything! (Sometimes the truth hurts, but she really has to know the reality of it.) Just ask her how the job thing is going and if she has found anything yet. And if she says know... Ask her what she plans on doing... Tell her that you are concerned that part of the reason that she may not be getting the jobs that she interviews for may be because she is up til really late and she is not really able to function and give her all during the interview. Tell her to try to have one sober night before an interview and tell her to see the reaction during the interview that she may get. Also, tell her that you are really concerned about her and her well being and that you would like to see her succeed in life and just tell her that the drinking is really starting to worry you. And just tell her that you are not trying to tell her what to do with herself.... Tell her that it's just positive criticism, and whatever she decides to do with herself you will support her... You are just worried about her. And whatever path she chooses you just have to be there for her. There's really no other way go go about it. You basically have to have an "intervention".

Your friend has a problem no job can fix.she need professional help. She may not be aware of it. If she truly your friend try letting her know what you truly think about her drinking and staying up at night. Think If you didn't know her when she came in for a job interview with you,would you hire her?

Your friend is a alcohlic You can tell her straight in her face but she will not change because she is in denial like all alcoholics and the only time she will change its the day she WILL DECIDE HERSELF to stop drinking and get adecent life I am not telling to drop her off but dont spend to much energy on her . Alcoholics and drug adicts are draining evrybody around them
