Did the person ever work before? Cuz they'll lose every job to someone who worked before even at McDonald's if the employer can confirm that person can show up on time and work well with the public and coworkers. If someone has never worked they are not only an unknown entity, they are fighting the current stereotype of being lazy and entitled cuz their mom is still doing their laundry while they play video games.

Companies don't want to waste training dollars and all that HR crap you have to do just to find out they hired someone who sleeps through their alarm or thinks a hangover is a legit reason to call in sick.
