Abercrombie & Fitch Job Recruiter uses Job Fair in Ohio to Campaign for Obama

     Perhaps taking his cue from Obama’s marching orders to “get in their faces and yell”, a job recruiter for the youth clotheir Abercrombie & Fitch used a job fair in Columbus, OH to spread the Obama message…. that of intimidation.

     It was relayed to me that while at this job fair earlier this week, a recruiter at the Abercrombie site asked the applicant what his political affiliation was. He then went further and asked who the applicant would be casting his vote for in November. The applicant answered that he was a Republican and would be voting as such, to which the recruiter LAUGHED at the applicant, basically intimidating him for his lack of support for Barack Obama.

     Abercrombie & Fitch, which ironically had great “product placement” at one of Obama’s primary acceptance speeches, is a publicly traded company (Symbol: ANF). I have attempted to get a statement from the office of the CEO, Mike Jeffries, to no avail as of yet.

     While this conversation might be acceptable in other circumstances, it has no place in a job fair or in an interview process. One has to figure that management of Abercrombie & Fitch  would not appreciate their brand being represented in this manner!
