TORONTO

A 16-year-old Toronto student showed some real grit Wednesday and really impressed some potential employers, says The Canadian Press.

Despite being stabbed in the leg he showed up for a job interview instead of going to the hospital.

He another 16-year-old old were stabbed near a high school, sending the collegiate into lockdown and heavily armed police swarming through the area.

But staff at a veterinary clinic said the student showed up on time for his 1 p.m. co-op placement interview.

But when employees noticed blood on his leg, they called police.

He and the other student were finally taken to hospital.

"He did really well on the interview and we were very proud of him for sticking to the appointment," said veterinarian Kent Ackerman, adding he was "shocked" the teen would do so.

Police were looking for two or three suspects seen running north out of the area.

Initial reports of a gun being seen prompted Emergency Task Force teams to search the collegiate

I would say that with such commitment and perseverance, this definitely gives him a leg up on the competition.

This could actually end up hurting him in the long run though. If I was that employer, I would be wondering what kind of stuff is he into that resulted in him being stabbed? Perhaps he's a good kid and he just mouthed off at the wrong person, but perhaps he's into something he shouldn't be. It would make me wonder for sure and I probably wouldn't hire him because I wouldn't want that kind of attention at my business.

Yes, it takes some courage but as an employer you have to wonder why he was stabbed. Wrong place at the wrong time or is he involved in some shady acivities?

I'd have to disagree with you here.

The fact that he still made it to the interview ON TIME despite having a serious wound on his leg... shows that he took the job and company seriously.

So what if he had a past full of hardships and trouble??

The important thing is that he took the initiative to search for honest work, earned a spot for an interview and had every intention of being there on time.

Of course.. sometimes the past doesn't want to forgive and, decides to hold a grudge against those who seek a change to better themselves
which I find very sad.

All in all though, I think he should have considered going to the hospital first before going to the interview. I mean, what if it was a more serious wound

^ He could have simply called in to tell them his situation and if they are understanding... perhaps re-schedule the interview. If not, I am sure there are other work opportunities out there for him.. or maybe not, what with todays messed up economy and all

I agree, but for a different reason. He might not ever be able to call in sick, because his boss will just say "You came to the interview on time with a stabbed leg, a cold is nothing to you!".
