Hiring Celebrities is Not a Done Deal

Say one day, Kobe Bryant, Tim Allen and Michael Jackson are all applying in your nursery school. As the principal, who would you hire? Maybe you will reject downright Michael Jackson's application due to pedophile records and cases still in court, but who do you think is the better candidate between Kobe Bryant and Tim Allen? With much consideration, you accept both the applications and told them to wait for further notice.

You get to take a look at Tim Allen's resume first. Being the voice of Buzz Lightyear of Disney's animated film Toy Story, he could be the perfect candidate as children will obviously love him the instant they learn this. To add up to what to be more convincing, he is also dedicated and hardworking father in the sitcom Home Improvement that had won plethora of awards and upscale ratings. Tim Allen also played roles that children had laughed and loved like the series of The Santa Clause films. You wrote excellent over his application but remembered that there is Kobe Bryant's resume still waiting. As an American All-star shooting guard, Kobe Bryant is equally convincing to be the right person you can hire to be included in your school's administration and faculty. Being a NBA superstar alone is enough to make children go giddy with him. He could be the perfect role model and idol your children could ever have, face to face.

Both are impressing, but who's to call? You resort for background check and investigation to clear up your confusion. After all, it is under the federal law that anyone who seeks a job involving working with children must submit their selves to a background check. To your dismay, you have learned that both have criminal records that are not qualified to work with children. The result? Allen to be guilty of drunk driving, cocaine and illegal drug abuse opposite Bryant that was accused of rape and actually admitting it by stating a public mea culpa although the case was dropped.

To think that hiring celebrities could be one top prize decision, but with background check, you should have known better. Let them both wait for the call in vain, or else, you could face negligent hiring practice lawsuit in the future.
